Lost Village of Addison

Addison History Project Game Launch

The children in the Juniors have been working on a local history project with Guy Schofield, an artist who specialises in digital media. This has been funded by a grant from Historic England. The children have visited the site of Addison Village, which is just on the edge of Ryton, and which was condemned as a category D village and demolished. They learned about the lives of the ordinary people who lived and worked there and they are presenting what they have learned as a video game.

Children in each class worked on this- they designed and made houses, people, animals and trees which were 3D scanned and will appear in the game. They acted out movements that the people of the village might have made, which have been used to animate the models made by Year 6. They created sound effects and dialogue which will appear in the game. Children from each year group will make a presentation about how they worked with Guy on the project and then we are inviting parents to play the game with their children to see it in action. The project has been so exciting for the children and we'd love you to share the launch of this brand new video game, inspired by the history of Ryton!
