The puppet film, made by the children from Mount Wise Primary School, has hit YouTube, to see it check out this link or see below. The children will be watching to see how many hits they get so they can judge if they have captivated the audience.
I am sure you will all agree they did a splendid job getting it all together. It is important to remember the children wrote all the script, chose the shots and operated the puppets and did the voice over.
The project as a whole is moving on nicely now and the finishing line is in sight. We have trained 9 young people so far to be oral historians. The young people learnt how to use film and audio equipment and write risk assessments. They then collected oral histories, using all their knowledge. They did a great job.
We have also trained up some other members of the community to collect oral histories and they are busy doing just that for the project. Without these volunteers we could not do the work we have and we are very grateful to them.
If you have a story to tell or an experience about your life or hobby that has involved the coast, in or around the Plymouth area, get in touch and we can include you in the next oral history collection in April.
