The Ancient House Museum

Just down the road from the fire station in Thetford is The Ancient House Museum. This is where we went to next!

We met a lady called Karen in the museum. She told us some information about the museum. 

What were these things used for in Tudor times?

This is a model of the ancient house! What does ancient mean?

This fireplace is big enough to stand in!

Karen showed us how the beams used to build the house were made:

Before it was time to go we had some time to explore some of the different rooms:

Mrs Taylor is looking to see if she can see any water in the well below the glass cover:

Did you spot where this funny symbol was? What room was it in?

What a fantastic time we all had...two trips in one day!

Off to the Fire Station!

Today the Wrens and Year 1 Robins travelled by coach to Thetford. Our first stop of the day was at the fire station.

What did we learn about when watching this film? Have you made a fire plan yet?

Who can dress as a firefighter the quickest?!

Jessica and Rex are showing us how to STOP, DROP AND ROLL!

We found out lots about the fire engine ...

...and all had a turn at squirting the hose!

The firefighters showed us where they get the water from:

Do you know where the nearest hydrant to your house is? Look for the yellow 'H' sign.

The hose that fills the fire engine is very large!
