Year 5 Visit to the Gunpowder Mills, Waltham Abbey

Year 5 pupils recently visited the Gunpowder Mills in Waltham Abbey where they took part in a Victorian re-enactment which saw them living out a day in the life of a Victorian child.

Year 5 pupil, Anna. commented, " It was really interesting to contrast the lives of poor and rich children during Victorian times."

Classmate, Isabel, added, " My favourite activity was getting to experience what the conditions were like in the Victorian workhouses."
