We had lots of fun at Bradford Industrial Museum. We dressed up as Victorian school children and teachers, and did lots of exciting activities. Take a look at some of the snaps we took below...
This is Mr Thurlow getting into character as a strict Victorian school Master.
This is the "Master" who told us lots of information about life in Victorian Textile mills.
We spent the afternoon in a Victorian School room. We wrote on slates with slate pens and practiced using ink pens, ink pots and blotting paper. The Master was very strict. We couldn't talk, and we had to stand up when we wanted to ask or answer a question. Luckily none of us had to stand in the corner wearing the Dunces hat!
This horse is called Murdock and he pulled us in this cart around the outside of the mill. It was very rickety and bumpy! In Victorian times, poor children would have been very lucky to ride on a horse and cart. We had fun, but we were very glad we didn't have to travel by horse and cart all the way home!
