Year 1 take part in a Victorian Christmas
This morning, Year 1 travelled to Queen Street Mill in Burnley to take part in a Victorian Christmas experience.
Twenty four excited children made cornucopias, played parlour games, took part in a Victorian pantomime of ‘Puss in Boots’ and listened to a story read by Father Christmas. He then explained the meaning of the contents of a Victorian Christmas stocking: an apple for good health, a pie for never being hungry, a piece of coal for warmth, a penny for wealth, a bag of salt for good luck and a toy for a little wish of luxury.
The morning was rounded off with a roaring rendition of ‘The Twelve Day’s of Christmas ‘ and ‘We Wish You a Merry Christmas,’ before Father Christmas waved them all off.
Many thanks to Mrs Siddique and Mrs Lowde who accompanied us on our trip.
