On Wednesday, Lions’ Class enjoyed a wonderful trip to Gressenhall Museum. After a long and foggy bus ride the children were excited to start exploring the museum and find out about homes in the past.
First we met Mrs Clackett who showed us how to make tea and drop scones. The children noticed many things about her kitchen that were different to their kitchens at home, including the range cooker, heated by wood! They then explored the shops, school room and main museum before the sun came out just in time for a picnic lunch.
The children made the most of the opportunities to talk about the changing weather and seasons too and had great fun playing in a huge pile of fallen autumn leaves.
After lunch we safely and sensibly crossed the road to the farm where they got involved with scrubbing, dusting and washing clothes; all done the old-fashioned way! We talked about the differences made by having no electricity. Everyone enjoyed having a go of the water pump. It was very tricky but we all managed to get some water into the buckets!
The children we responsible and respectful throughout our visit and we are very proud of them! We are excited to carry on with our history topic back at school next week.
