Historyworks will be collaborating with other Cambridge partners for the amazing event that is THE BIG LUNCH!! Our contribution will be a muscial entertainment scheduled for 2pm/2.45pm in the Main Event Marquee.   This will involve Mario and Tizzy leading participatory singing of the 'My Cambridge' songs which have been collaboratively co-created by Helen Weinstein and Dave Cohen of CBBC's Horrible Histories.  Importantly, the singers leading the entertainment will be Abbey Meadows Choir and supporting children from Abbey Meadows Primary. All Welcome!

In addition, Historyworks is teaming up with our colleagues at Cambridge Museum of Technology to offer some interactive thinking and doing activities between 12 and 4pm.   These will include kite-making and kite-flying for the children who sing in the entertainment, and history trail and beacon technolgoy for families to learn about how to navigate the history of Abbey ward and the river area using these resources. But also for family interactivity we will have materials to make balloon-powered wagons, pop-bottle rockets, and art materials to represent Coldham's Common and the infamous dinosaur poo!
