• Year 5 visit to Blists Hil

  Wed 28 Feb 2018
  Pupils in Year 5 stepped back in time to the Victorian era when they visited Blists Hill Museum near Telford. The children got to dress up in period clothes and experience what life was like in a Victorian school. Lessons were rather different in the 1800s, with slates and chalks being the most modern technology in the classrooms.

Members of the club visited the mayor of Solihull to reveal their chocolate character. Trail sheets are available from Touchwood Information Desk and The Core library. Why not try the trail over half term and take a selfie with our character!
