Victorians for a day!

Victorians for a day!

Finally the day came for Year 5's visit to Quarry Bank Mill!  Dressed in Victorian clothes, they arrived as a group of poor workhouse children who were about to start as apprentices in the apprentice House.  They learnt about the gruelling jobs they would have to do, the terrible food they'd have to eat and heard tales about the dangers of working in the Mill. The guides were so impressed with Year 5's respectful behaviour and their enthusiasm for learning.  What a brilliant class you are Year 5!  We are very proud of you!  Mrs Blomeley
