Day Two


Children from Year 4 at Shipley C of E Primary School watched a selection of Archive Films presented by the Yorkshire Film Archive including Easter on Shipley Glen, 1912 and Yorkshire Curiosities, 1959. These films sparked the children’s imaginations and they began to consider the differences between now and the olden days through performance, movement and visual art. They were intrigued by the differences in picture and sound quality of the films compared to films they have seen recently… “It looks like it’s raining”, “It looks blurry”, I think the camera was deaf.”
