BCM! Victorian inspiration
BACKWARDS ALPHABET Our trip to the Black Country Museum was a very enjoyable and exciting experience. We were able to explore and play with different toys from the Victorian era and even learnt how to compare them to the toys we play with now. 1DP loved playing street games and cheering each other on. We also found out that some people lived in ‘back to back’ houses and had to share their toilet with their neighbours (which was at the bottom of their shared garden)! 1G’s favourite part was when we learnt that some children would get a job just to buy a sweet! They would taste the sweet and then put it in their pocket to save for later! 1V had an eventful time in the Victorian school, where Mr Griffiths made us learn and recite the alphabet… backwards! LEGGING IT On Sunday, Heidi took part in the Race for Life, for Cancer Research. Over the last year Heidi has gained a lot more understanding on what the money can do, after her Nan was diagnosed with cancer, just over a year ago. She wanted to take part in the race after seeing the advert on the tv. She asked lots of questions and was so excited to take part! She set a target of £100 and exceeded this, raising a total of just over £200! She was very emotional on the day but put her all into completing the race and managed it in exactly an hour - with her mom running with her! She is very proud to have raised so much money for such a good cause and cannot wait to take part next year [Ed - Great effort Heidi and we are all proud of you!]
Thanks to Heidi’s mum for the story.
