Class 2 enjoyed an amazing trip to Levens Hall recently. Thankfully, the weather was kind so we were able to start our day with an invigorating walk down to the hall through the fields.
On arrival we were greeted by our tour guides and taken on an exciting and informative walk around the house. It is an incredibly old but beautiful building just on our doorstep. We learnt about the history of the Hall and saw many objects that were used by the families that lived there in the past – including chamber pots and bed pans! We also enjoyed spotting a bird and a mouse hiding in each room that we visited.
The morning ended with some of us having the opportunity to dress up in the kind of outfits once worn by inhabitants of the hall.
After a healthy lunch, we spent the afternoon outdoors in the grounds. Our activities included a sensory walk, a trip to the maze, sketching of the hall and games of follow my leader.
This has been an exciting start to our local history topic.
