Back in Time
Children in Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed their trip to Blists Hill Victorian village in Ironbridge. Their immersion in all things nineteenth century included a lengthy session in a Victorian schoolroom with a suitably stern teacher who insisted on perfect posture for nearly ninety minutes. Wearing authentic costumes the children recited times tables, sang All Things Bright and Beautiful and wrote in italicised lettering on slates – no left-handers allowed! A stroll around the Victorian village encompassed a trip to a doctor’s surgery, a visit to the blacksmith’s and a shopping expedition: against all the odds, the sweet shop was a firm favourite… And what better way to round off the day than a rousing sing-song in the local public house!
