As part of our topic this half term, we have already investigated the inventons of George Stephenson.
However, George wasnt the only significant inventor from our region.
Today, we will be finding out about another inventor and his contribution to the world as we know it today.

Remember, you may be asked to present your poster at the end of the lesson!
