On Friday 26th February 2021, Year One and Year Two visited Rouse Hill Farm to explore what life was like for children over a 100 years ago.
They stepped back in time and had an opportunity to work on the farm by pumping water from the well, feeding chickens, cleaning the stables and washing and hanging out pantaloons.
This was all before starting a hard day of schooling under the direction of Miss Fox the strict school teacher.
She showed our students what school life was like and the types of activities students performed.

Do you remember how you learned to read? For a vital skill that is linked to all other learning, it’s surprisingly difficult to explain how to go about learning it.
