Living history! Y1 Black Country Museum
TOUCH THE PAST Year 1 travelled back to the past on their amazing trip to the Black Country Museum! The day began with old- fashioned fun in the street, where children tried their hand at classic Victorian toys like the cup and ball, hoop and stick, wooden horses, and skipping ropes — with some impressive high scores in the beanbag throw! Next came a fascinating guided tour around the museum. From the old post office and music shop to the Victorian school and church, every stop was packed with history. The children were especially wowed by the Post Office and the classroom. As the class wandered the cobbled streets, they even spotted a real horse and cart — and gave the horses a friendly wave! The day finished with a traditional Victorian lesson in reading, writing, and arithmetic. What a memorable day of living history!
Thanks to Mrs. Philips for the story.
