Year One visit to Sudbury Museum

Year One enjoyed a day at Sudbury Museum of Childhood this week.
There were plenty of opportunities to explore and play with toys ranging from a hundred years ago to those played with by the children today.
The pupils were encouraged to search for similarities and differences between toys of different times and challenged to place artefacts in chronological order. In the afternoon they were given an insight into the life of a child in Victorian times, slaving away in the laundry, squeezing up chimneys, creeping along mineshafts and entering a Victorian classroom. Everyone agreed it was more fun being a child today!
And to prove it, there was even time to let off steam in the woodland playground before gathering up Mr Schofield and heading back to S. Anselm’s.
