Primary 5 visit Wordsworth House
Linked to both history and English curriculum studies, Primary 5 visited Wordsworth House in Cockermouth. In English, the children have been studying the work of the local poet and have previously had a trip to Grasmere to see where Wordsworth used to live and to learn some facts about his life and works. A visit to his birthplace and childhood home further enhanced their knowledge of this famous local person.
In history, the topic this half-term is the history of our local area and a visit to this Georgian House was perfect to experience first-hand (with hands-on activities, informative talks by the staff and costumed living history) what life was like for William.
