Project Fortnight Big Picture

Our task is to research local world war one history and design a high quality professional booklet, with map, to show people how they can easily and safely explore this by bike.

In order to do this we will carry out map work, research and preparation in school but also partake in bike trips that will become routes on our map at the end of the fortnight.

We will also aim to encourage to take more of an active interest in local world war one history and the benefits of cycling.

What does centenary mean?

1914-1918 (100 years)

WW1 and the local area

• How did Cramlington contribute and how was the Northumberland area affected?

• See the images for clues.

WW1 and the local area

• Your time to researchTask 1: We need to find local

sites of interest for WW1 that we could cycle to.

• When you find one – you can add it to our thinglink maps.

Task 2: Use sustrans (cycle routes) and scribble maps to plan routes that we can take.
