Today, some of Class 4 travelled on the train for the first time! We were off to Yarmouth to visit the Tolhouse Museum, an ancient gaol of the Town, and also to visit the beach for some fun and the opportunity to jump over waves in the sea. Not only that, but we carried out some geography surveys about land-use, together with some geography questionnaires. We will use the data to carry out some statistics work in Maths- real Maths- and to do some mapping. It was an action-packed day, as you will see...
It was dark in the ancient gaol, so the pictures are not all of the best quality, but give a feeling of some of the children's experiences. The children had the role of prison inspectors. They had to examine the conditions of the gaol, interview the jailer, a prisoner and speak with a prison reformer, before making their judgement.

Matching crimes and punishments in the olden days...
A busy, rewarding and fun day, with two of our 100 memorable events achieved- travelling by public transport and jumping over waves in the sea. Now we can look forward to w
hat we may find out about the shopping locations of people we interviewed and also, will there be a difference in land-use along the sea-front compared to the centre of Yarmouth?
