Trip to the Geoffrye Museum

Last Thursday, 1 Peach went to the Geoffrye Museum and we all had a brilliant time. We learnt so much about old Victorian homes. We were lucky enough to have Mr Rossington there who gave us lots of information about how people used to have to do their washing and ironing and how people used to live.

Can your child name all these different items and what they were used for?

As we got there a little early, we walked around the herb garden and had fun smelling all the different plants and guessing what they were. The lemon was very fresh!

We really enjoyed pretending to be young ladies and gentlemen!

We were lucky enough to have a workshop as well. Lots of us knew that there wasn't electricity and we were good at finding other light sources such as the candles and oil lamp. We talked a lot about the types of entertainment there would be within a house. Ask your child for their ideas.... there were some wild and wonderful ones!
