On Monday 17th June, year 3 and 4 went back in time to learn all about the Victorian period and life in the first half of the 20th century.
We visited the pit village and learned all about the coal industry. Then we went back to school! We did a Victorian lesson where we did our ‘3 Rs’ and wrote with a quill and ink. We experienced what school life was like for a child in Victorian times. After this we went to the fair and we enjoyed a ride on the carousel.Next we went to the town. We visited the dentist where they thought brushing your teeth with sugar was a good idea! Speaking of sugar, we also went to the sweet shop and purchased some traditional sweets that were weighed out in front of us. We then enjoyed the 1950s town where we recognised more familiar objects. A tram ride finished our amazing trip.
