Petersfield Museum Trip

Instead of a double History lesson at school, all the First Years enjoyed heading to Petersfield Museum to learn about local history. They did a treasure hunt style task where they had to find specific facts within the museum’s displays in order to crack a secret code.

They focused on topics such as: who was buried in the Bronze age barrows, how Petersfield became a rotten borough, when the railway arrived in town, the punishment for stealing a jar of marmalade and sitting in the court room. Many pupils enjoyed dressing up too!

It was a great way to get pupils out of the classroom and doing some active history.
