Oaklands Museum Trip - 8th October 2025
Oaklands Museum Visit
Year 1 had the opportunity to visit Chelmsford Museum (Oaklands House) on the 8th of October. We had a fantastic day exploring the museum on a hunt for different Victorian home artefacts and participated in a Victorian toy workshop. We got to enter a Victorian kitchen a find out all about how it worked - there were no fridges or washing machines, so we got to see how daily chores would take place (we even had a go on a mangle!). Year 1 learnt all about the Wells family who lined in Oaklands House and was able to compare how their life is different to ours today. Overall, the day was lots of fun and we got to participate in lots of hands-on history that we have since used in class.
