Friday 6th February 2026 

This week, Year 4 went on a trip to the Black Country Living Museum. They got to experience what life was like for children in the Industrial Revolution and how we mined coal to power homes, factories and trains. They also completed a lesson in a Victorian school and explored a wide range of historical shops.
