Industrial Museum: A Victorian Classroom:  Year 3:

As local mill working children, pupils experienced lessons at Moorside Board School including copywriting with dip pens, using slates and singing period songs.  Pupils further explored life in Victorian Bradford and the significance of the mill industry and local educational reform.  Pupils got ‘hands on’ with the basic processes by which the fleece of a sheep is turned into cloth.  Pupils took on roles to complete the process, learnt more about the children who worked in the mills and got to experience some of the noise and smells of the mills as they saw a selection of the machines running.  The workshop explores the change from a small family cottage-run industry to mass mechanisation, including how Bradford changed during the Industrial Revolution.

They explored the horrors of wartime hospitals before Florence Nightingale.  They embarked on a thrilling journey to a Scutari hospital ward where they got to see how conditions improved and helped a poor wounded soldier.  They spent the rest of the day exploring the museum and learning about the history of medicine.
