The children visited The North Woolwich Old Railway Museum several times during the project to conduct their research. They also visited the London Docklands Museum, as well as took a trip under the River Thames through the Woolwich tunnel and back again on the Woolwich Ferry. |
|
The children spent two challenging days at the University of East London Docklands Campus at 'MPC' Media Department and the 'MAGICbox' Laboratory. It successfully bridged the gap between primary and higher education proving that further development linking these two areas could be explored at a later stage. |
