As part of our history topic ‘The Victorians’ we visited Hillsborough Castle and Gardens yesterday. We hope this experience will greatly enhanced the children’s knowledge and understanding of life in Victorian Times.
Children had the opportunity to: • Learn that Hillsborough Castle and Gardens is a home and requires many servants to ensure it runs smoothly. • Learn that being a servant in a 'big house' was a desirable job. • Learn about the different roles of servants in Victorian times. • Learn that people in the past lived differently according to their background.
We literally had 4 seasons in one day and really enjoyed exploring the gardens and making memories together. A great day was had by all.
