Historical Artefacts
November 20, 2010
In this morning’s assembly Mr Gillam showed us the 5 objects that have been selected to be uploaded to the BBC’s Historical Artefacts project. He also invited teachers to talk about any items of historical interest they may have at home. I brought in my original Nintendo GameBoy that I received for Christmas in 1989.
It would be fascinating to find out if your parents have any old computer equipment hidden away at home.
