--- title: "Visit to Beamish" url: "https://broughtonprimarysch.co.uk/photo-galleries/visit-to-beamish" school: "Broughton Primary School" --- # Visit to Beamish We had an amazing experience on the KS2 trip to Beamish & it was the perfect way to end our Victorians topic. The children got to experience first hand a Victorian school lesson & I think they appreciated their Broughton teacher even more afterwards! They took part in some old fashioned school lessons and tried writing with a quill and ink which proved very tricky. The sight of the cane produced some nervous laughs but fortunately it wasn't put into use! We were really excited to go down the drift mine and experience the conditions that some Victorian children worked in. We experienced the darkness when the lights were briefly turned off and everyone brought home some coal. After a journey on the old fashioned bus we went around the shops and houses in the town - the false teeth workshop and the instruments in the dentists were quite scary and we were fascinated with the payment system in the co-op shops. A brilliant day out for all of the children!
