J5 Big Pit Photos - History Detectives!




If you are wondering why the children all look exhausted sitting in front of the lockers, it's because they are pretending they have just come back from a twelve hour shift.
(Apologies for the delay in uploading these photos! Mrs Marlow has been very busy writing an essay this week!)

What a wonderful day we had on Friday at Big Pit - it was such a pleasure taking you all. We know that you enjoyed the trip as you have been talking about the stories that the miners told you ever since you came back! You enjoyed watching the Blaenavon "Coal Stories" DVD again as you spotted several places that we visited.

This week you have been writing up your responses from your miners questionnaires and Mr Llewellyn and myself can't believe how much you learnt on the underground tour - da iawn! I think that the one fact that has fascinated the majority of you is hearing about the children's work as "trappers" in the mines.

Tomorrow, you'll be able to read first hand experiences of the trip from some of the children in Year 5. If any Year 4's are reading this, you can look forward to this trip next year.
