Prep V’s topic for the Autumn Term is the Victorians and the children will be participating in some exciting and practical experiences to bring history to life.

On Thursday 2nd November, Prep V will be visiting Quarry Bank Mill. On arrival, they will step back in time and meet the superintendent of the Apprentice House to find out what life was like for the children who were apprentices at Samuel Gregg’s cotton mill. In the afternoon, the children will tour the mill to learn about the lives of mill workers, trying some of the jobs done by the apprentices and finding out about working conditions.

We will be leaving school at 9am and returning at approximately 3.15pm. A packed lunch will be provided. School uniform must be worn.
