Year 4's summer term history topic is to study our local history. The children visited Beaudesert, Cannock Chase to learn more about the history of the site that we visit and enjoy so much! Here are some pictures of their visit.

Year 3 Local History Trip to Cannock Chase Museum
Year 3 recapped their learning about local mining from Year 2 with a visit to Cannock Chase Museum. The children explored the museum, observed artefacts, went down a 'mining shaft', explored a Victorian Miner's household and even had a visit from a real-life miner! This visit allowed the children to apply their knowledge of coal and transport from their recent topic of Canals and Technological Advancement.
