We have taken part in a project by Norfolk Museums Services and the UEA developing an animation to tell the story of the HMS Gloucester.  The finished animation will be on show from spring next year in the Time and Tide Museum in Great Yarmouth.  The team making the animation, wanted our opinion, along with that of children in other schools around Norfolk, as to which of two possible endings to use.   The story is all about Queenie the rat onboard HMS Gloucester when she sank off the Norfolk coast in 1682.  We learnt all about who was onboard the ship and the reasons for her sinking.  We played a game to help us to decide which of three possible routes the royal fleet should take around the Norfolk coast before finding out what actually happened.  We then looked at images of the wreck and handled some objects to represent those that have been recovered from the chests onboard.  We considered who they might have belonged to and created the stories of some of the passengers travelling on the Gloucester.
