Trip to the Time and Tide Museum - Part 2

Written by Rabbits class.

After our workshop, we watched a Punch and Judy show.  The man told us why they were special.  It was very funny and we laughed a lot.  Mr Punch is very naughty.  Mrs Savage was very brave as she doesn't like puppets or clowns and there was a clown puppet in the show!

We ate our lunch next and got ready to walk to the beach.  When we got there, the sun came out and we had a lovely time playing in the sand with our classmates.  We made sand angels, sand castles and collected pebbles.  Hedgehogs got to have a paddle in the sea but it will be our turn next year.

We brushed away the sand from between our toes and walked back to the bus.  It was a long drive back to Bressingham.  Some of us had a nap.  We really enjoyed our trip to the museum and look forward to doing it again next year.

Some photos of us watching the Punch and Judy show and at the beach.

Trip to the Time and Tide Museum - Part 1

Written by Rabbits class.

On Friday we went to the Time and Tide Museum in Great Yarmouth.  We got on the bus.  It was a long time on the bus, but not the longest trip in the world.  We chatted lots, played rock, paper, scissors and sang songs.  When we looked out of the window we saw windmills and lots of trees.

When we got off the bus we had a snack and a lady called Meg told us what we would be doing that day.  The the Captain of the Navy arrived.  He taught us how to salute, use a sword, march and stand to attention.  Using the sword was fun.  Some of us got to dress up!

Next we went to Pirate Kitty Black's hideout.  She taught us how to salute in a different way.  We were now pirates and learned how to hold a cutlass, pistol and fire a cannon.  We used our imaginations and pretended we were stealing treasure.  Kitty got the treasure chest from the other ship and we looked inside.  We were surprised that it wasn't filled with gold but coffee and cinnamon.  We learned that these were very valuable at the time. We did find some fools gold though so we were happy in the end.

We went with Kitty back to the courtyard.  She had an argument with the captain who ran off scared.  It was very funny.

Here are some photos and videos of our pirate workshop.
