Year 5 Apprentices!

Year 5 Apprentices!

Year 5 travelled back in time to the Victorian age when they visited Quarry Bank Mill in Styal on 20th October.  Dressed in clothes of the Victorian period, the children arrived at Apprentice House and stepped right into a school lesson!   Handwriting on chalkboards, calling the very strict Mistress "Maam" and learning about some scary medical procedures of the time (such as bloodsucking leeches!) made Year 5 realise just how lucky they are to live in 2017!   A visit to the mill, where they experienced the noisy machinery,  helped them to empathise with the poor children who worked there two hundred years ago.  This was a great opportunity to bring to life the learning we have done in our Victorian topic and everyone had a great time.  Well done Year 5!  Mrs Blomeley.
