Our class went to the Heritage Centre on Monday afternoon. We went there to learn about our new topic. The workshop was called ‘When Gran was a Girl’.

We learned about lots of different things Gran would have had in her house to help her with the housework. We got to pretend we were washing clothes, we were shopping in the past too.

We even got to use the carpet beater and hoover.

We think housework in the past must have been hard work.
