Victorian transportation ....

As well as intensive Christmas performance rehearsals this week, Rivington class have been continuing with their work on Victorian transportation, creating another page with another working mechanism for their pop-up books. After studying the life of a Victorian navvy; the work they did, the risks they tool, their living standards, the children recorded an account of the day in the life of a navvy using the I pad app; FMM. The app allows the user to use a background picture of a navvy but substitutes the navvies mouth with the mouth of the child and allows them to speak as the navvy to describe their day. The results are a little strange but nevertheless good! Check them out below. Also, take a look at the latest page on canals from our Victorian pop-up book.
