• Year 5 visit to Blists Hill

  Wed 05 Feb 2020
  Pupils from Year 5 stepped back in time to the Victorian era when they visited Blists Hill in Telford. The children got to experience what life would have been like back in the 1800s. After dressing up in suitable clothing, it was off to school where the lessons were rather different to today. There was certainly less technology available to pupils back then!

It was a great experience for the children and we must say thanks to the PTA for organising the event.
