Year 5 had a wonderful time at Warrington Museum, exploring displays and artefacts to learn more about life in Victorian Warrington.

The children investigated historic maps to discover how Warrington has changed over time and became real "time detectives" as they compared the past with the present. They also enjoyed a walk around the town centre, spotting Victorian buildings and looking for hidden carvings and architectural features that revealed clues about their history.

To round off the visit, the children learned about the important role of museum curators as they prepared for creating their own Year 5 Museum back at school. They were even given a special behind-the-scenes look in the museum's staff-only storage areas, where they discovered some fascinating hidden artefacts!

A fantastic day of local history, discovery and learning. ⭐️📜🏛️
