Howick Historical Village

On Tuesday 29th of November 2011, Room 10 went to visit the Howick Historical Village. We went on a bus, it took two bus trips for all the Year 0 and 1's to get there.

We spent the day looking at 'olden days' structures and learning about how life was for people back in the 'olden days'. We played many games and had lots of fun.

The old school room.

We learnt about playing parlour games. These are games people used to play in the evening when they wanted to have fun.

Our day was fun and full of lots of learning. Thank you to Ms Langslow, Mrs Clements and Mrs Harrison for helping on or trip. Thank you to the members of the Howick Historical Village for having us for the day.

Our structures walk

In Week 4 Room 10 and 9 went for a walk in the area around our school. We went and looked at bridges, tunnels, the stream, dogs and the man mowing the lawn around the stream.

The first bridge we walked over.

Our walk was lots of fun, and we learnt how to keep ourselves safe when crossing the road.

Thank you to Miss Cotman and Room 9 for coming with us on our fabulous walk.
