On the day of the end of term concert, the Milton C of E Primary School were in fine form, singing warmup rounds of “Hobson’s Horses” and then the more complex “Hooray for Hobson” composed by Karen Wimhurst with lyrics by the Horrible Histories lyricist, Dave Cohen. The Creative Director and Producer, Helen Weinstein was invited to the school to talk to the Hall filled with more than 400 children about the job of a historian, why local history matters so that you know about where you live, and to celebrate the achievements for singing history that the project has accomplished with the children at Milton Primary.

The students also asked many insightful questions about what was involved in making recordings and making films and how we made the choices about what was included to tell the narrative.  Lastly, after a big sing, the children were shown the app, and all 480 pupils were given an app map to take home at the end of school to share at home with family and friends in the community.
