Class 3 took a trip back in time last week all the way back to the 1800s! As part of our local history study we visited Harewood House to find out what life was like for those working in the house.
Our guides at Harewood were fantastic! They took us into the servants quarters and explained all the different jobs we would have had to have done if we'd been Lord Harewood's servants. The staff at Harewood were impressed with our questions and how much we knew about Victorian times, they also loved our costumes.
Other visitors to the house liked our costumes so much that they stopped to take photographs of us - it was a little bit like being famous!
After our tour downstairs our guides let us have a sneaky peek at the state rooms above stairs. We were amazed by the difference - it was so colourful and beautifully decorated compared to the rooms downstairs. We even got to see the hidden door to the secret passsageway!
After the tour we took our picnic on the lawn in front of the house. Delicious! We then took a walk in the Victorian terrace and went to explore the ice house.
As a reward for our fantastic behaviour we ended the day on the adventure playground. A big thank you to everyone at Harewood for making our day such a memorable experience!
The girls are ready for their duties in the kitchens.
This smart gentleman found a generous slice of Victoria sponge in his packed lunch!
It was a little too much for our artful dodger.
