Brilliant Beamish!
What a fabulous day out we’ve had at Beamish! ☀️Travelling back in time to Durham, we had the opportunity to experience what life would have been like during the different eras, right back to the Victorian times. We explored the town with all of its wonderful shops and the bank, and we went into the different houses. We visited the dentist’s house and found out all about how the old toothbrushes were made. We certainly won’t want to think about the pig’s bottom at the same time as brushing our teeth!😬 We also got to experience a mining pit village and the cottages that would have been found in a village like this. We were amazed at the quaintness of the cottages and the thought of going to the toilet outside in the dark and cold. Our trip down the mine was also a real eye-opener, as we discovered the size if the mine and the conditions that the miners had to endure. We even met a miner who had worked at Bullcroft and Bentley! Our visit to the Victorian school was very different to our own school. The lessons were very different to ours at school (except the phonics!) and the teacher was very strict, but we still enjoyed them. We’ve had so much fun and have had lots of smiles on our faces all day.
Historians in the making!
KS1 have been putting their interviewing skills to the test! We were fortunate enough to interview Mrs Brentnall, a past pupil of Carcroft School, 77 years ago! Check out our Expedition page to find out more!

The coach will need to leave promptly at approximately 8:00am
Please ensure that children are wearing their RED Carcroft school uniform and sensible shoes (there will be a lot of walking !) The weather is also forecast to be quite hot, so children may want to have suncream applied.
