Year 1 trip to Abington Park Museum.

The Year 1 children enjoyed a trip to Abington Park Museum as part of our history learning.

We have learnt about Victorian toys, homes and the Victorian era.

We explored Victorian toys, some of which were similar to the toys we enjoy today. We compared them to modern toys and how they are made from different materials, move in different ways and how they are powered.

We enjoyed a treasure hunt around the museum and explored Victorian toys such as 'cup-and-balls,' hoops, yo-yo's, skipping ropes and a zoetrope.

We ate our picnic lunched at the museum before heading back to school in the afternoon.

Thank you to the museum staff who made it an informative and enjoyable visit.
