Year One had a fantastic morning working with our ‘Little Makers’ visitors from the Black Country Living Museum. We thought about all of the structures and buildings we saw at the museum and then worked together to build our very own structures. We learned all about strong materials and how to make secure fixings. We used some bellows to test whether our houses were strong or not.

Year One were very lucky to meet some of the firefighters from Fallings Park. They showed us around their fire engine, and we even had the chance to sit in the firefighters’ seats! They also demonstrated some of the tools they use when fighting fires and rescuing people. In class, we learned about the important role firefighters play within our community and the special protective clothing they wear to keep themselves safe.

Year One had a fantastic day visiting ‘The Black Country Living Museum!’ We learned all about the materials used to build different types of houses and shops and were excited  to watch bricks and chains being made. We even had a chance to build our own walls and houses using lots of construction materials!
