Year 1 enjoyed a visit to Beamish Museum.  They experienced life in the classroom where they found out what school was like in Victorian times.  They did find it rather strange that they could not smile or laugh and that they had to stand up when answering questions.  I think they enjoyed always having to refer to the teacher as ‘ma’am’.  They travelled around the museum on trams and buses which they all thought was great fun.  Year 1 also spent some time exploring the houses and shops around the museum.  The fantastic day out ended with a play in the 1950s playground.
