Year 5 go back in time at Lanhydrock
Published: 27 October, 2011
As part of their history studies about the Victorians, Year 5
paid a visit to Lanhydrock House in Cornwall. The children were
divided into groups and got to dress up in a range of Victorian
costumes.
One group learned about being a servant in Victorian times and
looked at the vast kitchens while another experienced being a child
by exploring the nursery and playing with some of the toys. The
children found out all about the family who lived at Lanhydrock,
the Agar-Robarts, and were fascinated to hear about the lavish
lives they led.
The children also got to spend time in the gardens picking up
conkers!
