Victorians this term and have lots of exciting learning
activities planned. |

We visited Tredegar House and were put to work!
We learned how to lay the table, polish the silver, clean the floors
and even made pastry for Lord Tredegar! Phew, it was hard work
being a servant in Victorian times! |

We have been reading Oliver Twist
and getting into character by acting out scenes and even learning
the art of pick pocketing! |

We visited Big Pit in Blaenavon
to find out what life was like in the mines. We looked around
the museum then put our hard hats on and ventured down into the
mines. It was very exciting! |

We recently went on a trip to St
Fagans Museum of Welsh Life to look at homes through the ages
(including Victorian Times). We visited the Victorian School
and sat at the desks and we also went on a material hunt around the
museum. Our foreign guests also came on the visit and gained
an insight into what life was like in Wales in the past. |
