In the Spring term of 2011, Polly worked in Ysgol Frongoch and Ysgol Heulfre to find out information about the old North Wales Hospital in Denbigh. Year 3 and 4 pupils were guided in an oral history project and then worked with Polly to present their findings in the form of an interactive exhibition at Denbigh Town Hall. The information was then used by the pupils to work with Polly to devise and perform a play called ‘Somebody’s Baby’. This proved to be so popular that it was re-performed in June 2011. Finally, a group of Year 7 and 8 pupils worked with Polly to write a brand new book about the hospital. The book was designed to make historical facts and real-life memories more accessible to younger readers. ‘The North Wales Hospital’ is available in the shop. | |
