AN OXFORD woman whose sister was killed in the 7/7 London bombings has created a website to teach schoolchildren about the terrorist attacks.

Cowley Road resident Esther Hyman will launch the site to mark the 10th anniversary of the tragedy in July.

Now she wants to raise the funds to tell schools across the whole country about the free resource.

Miss Hyman, 46, has created plans for geography, citizenship, art and dance lessons all based around the death of her sister and 51 others on July 7, 2005.

Another 770 people were injured as three bombs went off just before 9am on underground trains near Liverpool Street, Edgware Road and King’s Cross stations.

The final explosion around an hour later was on a double-decker bus in Tavistock Square. On board was freelance picture researcher Miriam Hyman, 32.

Her big sister Esther, who she grew up with in Finchley in London, was working as a medical secretary at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford at the time. The former primary school teacher founded the Miriam Hyman Memorial Trust the following year to try to take something positive out of the catastrophe.

In 2008 the trust founded a lasting memorial – the Miriam Hyman Children’s Eye Care Centre in Hyderabad, India.

This was because Miriam had discovered in her teens that she was short-sighted and was given glasses, allowing her to pursue her career as a picture researcher.

And on July 1 this year the trust will launch what it calls her legacy – Miriam’s Vision, an online educational resource for 11 to 14-year-olds, developed in partnership with the UCL Institute of Education and the sisters’ old school Copthall in Barnet.

Miss Hyman, the charity’s director, said she wanted to prepare young people for dealing with trauma in their lives.

She said: “All our lesson plans take Miriam’s story as a starting point – history, citizenship and personal, social and health education are based on the events of 7/7. Geography, arts and dance are based on the location of the eye care centre in India and the business enterprise lesson is a whole-school fundraising activity.

“In the geography lesson it is all about a mining conflict, which is going on near the eye centre, but we are all in conflict and competition for scarce resources.

“It is really about the consequences of an event like 7/7 and all about responding to traumatic events which anyone could go through in their life.

“We want to give young people the tools to deal with adversity to improve their own lives and their society.”

To raise funds to publicise the website, Miss Hyman and others are inviting people to join them on a sponsored cycle from Oxford to Tavistock Square on Sunday, July 5.

Tim Coulson MBE, the “Angel of Edgware Road” who comforted the dying on 7/7, was the first to sign up.

The 60-year-old said: “I will take part and train hard to do the whole distance to build a better future and increase the money needed.”
