EDITORS COMMENTS
Birkby Infants School pupils take a step back in time at Colne Valley Museum, Golcar, accompanied by their teacher Mrs. Monica Wood. Dressed in authentic Victorian costumes, these young learners immersed themselves in the daily tasks of the era - washing, ironing, spinning and weaving. The group of five and six-year-olds not only experienced life as it was during the 19th century but also had a hands-on cooking lesson. Under guidance from museum staff, they prepared a traditional vegetable stew with freshly baked bread for their lunch. This educational outing perfectly complemented their classroom studies on historical periods across different countries. By visiting this historic museum on November 1st, 1985, these children gained valuable insights into the past while having fun along the way. Captured in this print are beaming faces filled with excitement and curiosity as they engage with history firsthand. The image encapsulates the essence of education beyond textbooks - where learning becomes an immersive adventure. With its focus on cookery skills, cultural exploration, and practical lessons from yesteryears; this snapshot serves as a reminder that education is not confined to classrooms alone but can be found within museums' walls.
