6 Hawking had an exciting visit to the Black Country Museum on Wednesday 2nd October! They took part in a “History Detectives” workshop, where they used primary and secondary sources to uncover the story of a Victorian family. The day also included a traditional Victorian schoolroom lesson from a very strict teacher, with Mr. Siviter receiving a Victorian-style punishment with the cane! The children also enjoyed a ride on a vintage bus, explored historic houses, and learned about Victorian lifestyles. It was an unforgettable hands-on history experience for everyone!

6 Curie were immersed in the Victorious Victorian Era when they visited on Monday 7th October and took their opportunity to explore what life was like in Victorian times. The children studied in a Victorian school, learnt how to write in a copperplate style as well as finding out the punishment given to children who didn鈥檛 behave! They explored a variety of artefacts in the historical sources workshop, and questioned what a primary and secondary source was. They also visited the different shops and houses in the museum, learning what chemists, hardware shops, general stores and many more were like in the Victorian era. The question is, would you like to be a Victorian child or do you prefer the modern luxuries we have today?
