Year 1's trip to Armley Mills...

This week Year 1 travelled back in time to discover what life was really like for children in Victorian Britain. We learnt the 3 R's in a typical Leeds school in 1887 under the watchful eye of the school Master. We tried out the slate boards and slate pencils and we had a go at using a dip pen and ink in our very own copybooks. The School Master even showed us some of the methods used to punish Victorian children so we were all a little relieved when it was time for lunch. After lunch we learnt about some of the jobs that children had to carry out at the mill and got to see some of the machines in motion. We all had a lovely trip but we were very happy to return to 2018!

All ready with our pennies to pay the school Master.

We weren't too impressed with the Victorian iPads...
