Prism Arts Project - Cumbria's Atomic Story
Children in Upper Key Stage 2 are currently taking part in this project, which will culminate in an exhibition at The Beacon, Whitehaven during Science Week 2019. The project looks at changes in West Cumbria as a result of the nuclear industry and so far pupils have enjoyed activities such as:
- Learning about the life of John Dalton
- Exploring The Beacon and Whitehaven Archives to learn more about local history
- Taking part in Sellafield history workshops, including crane building
- Walking part of the John Dalton Way with Sellafield community engagement staff
- Interviewing local people about life in West Cumbria as part of our oral history project
