John Wilkinson at Lake Bennett Canada Building Boats 1896
After a hectic week at Wolsingham Primary School, we pulled off a minor miracle. Working with Year 5 pupils we managed (in only 4 hours - the miracle)to produce 8 beautiful light boats and a two minute animated film based on 'Westland' the journal of John Hillary's trip to New Zealand in 1879. Mr. Hillary came from nearby Tow Law a hilltop village in the North Pennines. Here's the film.
