Year 5 - Heritage Day

Date: 4th Jul 2024 @ 10:22am

For this year's Heritage Day, year 5 were asked the question, 'Why did Blackpool become a popular tourist resort?'

The pupils looked at a range of old photos to see how the town has changed over the past 150 years. Together we found out how the Blackpool Tower, Pleasure Beach, Winter Gardens and piers came about. Pupils used this information to support their writing of a newspaper to comemorate the visit of Princess Louise in 1912 - which was the beginning of the famous Blackpool Illuminations.
