Modern day photos of Fishponds placed onto an old map

Year 5 have been looking at how Fishponds has changed over time. Using ICT, the children have taken photographs of places in Fishponds today and then placed them on to an old map. As well as ICT skills the task required them to carefully study maps in order to put the photos in the correct places. Can you spot our school?

Comparing maps of our local community

Today Year 5 have been comparing maps of Bristol over time as part of their 'Community' topic. The children looked at maps of this area from the past through to the present (over 200 years) and saw how dramatically things had changed. They took on the very difficult task of transferring data from the newer maps onto the map from 1817 to show where the changes had been.
