Year 1 had the best day out to Blists Hill Victorian town today! It was so exciting to go through the time machine and step back into the 1800s.

We learnt about so many exciting inventions such as the steam train and penny farthings. We also took a tour around the village and we went into a dispensary, printing press, candle making shop and many more exhibits learning all about daily life in the Victorian era.

At lunch time, we enjoyed a picnic and went on a ride on a traditional Ferris wheel, which made us all giggle! Then we dressed up and had an authentic Victorian school lesson - the teacher was very strict! We learnt to write our name in old handwriting on slates.

It was a truly fantastic day and one the children won't forget.
