Year 4 had an exciting and memorable trip to the Milton Keynes Museum, where they stepped back in time to explore how the local area has changed over the years.
During their visit, the children took part in a fascinating session on The Making of Milton Keynes, where they learned how the town was carefully planned and developed. They even had the chance to become town planners themselves, designing their own layouts and thinking about what makes a community successful.
The pupils were particularly intrigued by the collection of historic transport, seeing how travel has evolved from the past to the present day. They also explored a range of artefacts discovered during the building of Milton Keynes, uncovering stories from the area’s rich history.
One of the highlights of the trip was comparing schools from different eras. The children experienced what lessons might have been like in the past and reflected on how much education has changed over time. They also gained a deeper understanding of everyday life in old Britain, from homes and jobs to routines and traditions.
The trip was a fantastic opportunity to bring history to life.
