Year 2 Gravesend Library Visit

On the 10th and 12th May Year 2 visited Gravesend library linking the trip to their “My Town, Then and Now” topic. Looking at how buildings have changed over the years in their local community. They looked at how the old buildings are different from modern ones in their design and in the materials, they are made from? What evidence is there of buildings aging? How do we know if something is old or in an old style? Looking at lots of historic records (e.g. maps, photographs, etc.) of the local area, which might support their research.
