An opportunity has arisen for us to carry out fieldwork at BEAMISH next week on Wednesday 17th November.
The visit will be entirely during the school day.
Students will need:
- A packed lunch. We will provide lunches for students that qualify for free school meals.
- Clothes that will keep them warm and dry (lots of layers).
- Full kit in a plastic bag inside their school bag.
Students will interview experts about working conditions in the mine, and have an opportunity to go into the drift mine at the site.
This fieldwork is part of their studies for their expedition From the Ground Up, with the guiding question ‘What do the communities of North-East England owe to the miners?’
