Black Country Museum Trip March 2025
On Thursday 27th March, Year 4 had a fantastic visit to the Black Country Museum as part of our History topic “Down the Pit”. We had an amazing day finding out all about our local area, we were able to visit different buildings, houses and shops which have been rebuilt by the Museum, we tasted traditional cooked chips and (most importantly) we were able to experience what it was like down a real coal mine.
This was such a beneficial learning opportunity which the children really enjoyed, even though it was dark and cold. The children really understood what life was like for a coal miner and the dangers children as young as five would have faced. The whole experience has helped to bring their classroom learning alive.
