Year 6 go back in time at the Black Country Living Museum….
Today Year 6 visited the Black Country Living Museum as part of our Victorians topic.
We followed the trail of two Victorian children, a rich child called Harry and a poor child called Lillian. We visited examples of the typical houses of where they would have lived and were able to make interesting comparisons between them. Some of the children got to travel on the trolley bus which they found exciting and we all got to see a live chain making demonstration.
Overall an amazing day out and the children were a credit to St. Clement’s.

They chose penguins and lighthouses. They had to make the circuit using wires, cells, bulbs and bulb holders . The children presented their prototypes to the class.
Visit to the Vihara
This week year 6 visited the Vihara in Ladywood as part of their topic on Buddhism. Before we visited ,we studied in our RE lesson the Eightfold pathway (Dharma). This is the path Buddhists follow in order to reach Nirvana (enlightenment).We thought about our own rules to follow and made a Dharma to reflect this.
