Primary 6 had a wonderful day out at Summerlee museum learning about life in the Victorian era and about the job of a miner from the 1840s onwards. They took a trip down a mine to see how dark, damp and cramped working conditions would be for miners and enjoyed looking around the miner’s cottages to learn about life in a variety of eras. They then took part in a fabulous workshop where they dressed up as Victorian school children, looked at some artefacts and practised copperplate writing.
