That Was Then, is a Lottery funded Local History project led by Whickham Web Wanderers in partnership with Beamish Museum and Gateshead City Learning Centre.

That Was Then aims to encourage Key Stage 2 pupils to explore Twentieth Century Life and their local history from a number of different perspectives; Lifestyles, World War II, Leisure Activities, the role of women during World War II, and other topics.

Learning will be developed through obtaining first hand testimony from older members of the community visiting school and through a free class visit to Beamish Museum where the children can participate in a selected workshop. Participating schools are encouraged to contribute to the project website via a multimedia session at Gateshead City Learning Centre.

Please note that acceptance will be on a first-come, first-served basis and that you are requested to contact Janine Brookes (0191 460 2900 jbrookes@ictgateshead.org) before September 26th to express your interest in participating.
