"Time Travelling in Stanley" Poem - South Stanley Junior School
This poem was created by Jessica, Anya, Josh and Hope, Year 6 pupils at South Stanley Junior School as part of our 'Celebrating Stanley' project. They were inspired by their trip to Beamish Living Museum and have captured the feeling of stepping back in time, blending excitement with reflections on the realities of the past.
