Children go 'down pit'.

Year 3/4 had a fantastic trip to Beamish Open Air Museum last Monday. We were looking at mining and how life was lived almost 100 years ago.

The trip down the mine was exciting even though it was dark and gloomy. Did you know a miner had to buy all their own tools, including candles!

We found out what life was like in a miner's home (much warmer than in the mine) and learned how to make clippy mats.
Then it was a quick trip to the school house to be shown how to write on slates Back to school.JPG
before we were allowed a bit of free time - Beamish style of course.
