As part of History learning, Year 1 went on an adventure to Mill Green Museum to explore The Great Fire of London and life in the past. We are very lucky that we are able to walk to Mill Green Museum from our school. During the day we handled a variety of replica artefacts and discussed which items we would save. We completed a diary as Samuel Pepys did and constructed a model house from 1666. We joined in a hands-on baking session, just like Thomas Farriner, using flour from the mill to create our own bread roll. We were very lucky to get a tour of the mill to explore how grain is transformed into flour. We also became archaeologists and participated in a blanket dig to uncover stories about the past. A great day full of new adventures and learning!
