The World of James Herriot Visit

As part of our history learning on how homes have changed over the last century, our Key Stage 1 class visited The World of James Herriot in Thirsk. The children stepped back in time to explore a restored 1940s home and veterinary surgery, giving them a hands-on look at what everyday household life was like nearly a hundred years ago.   

During the trip, the children walked through a 1940s kitchen to see how people prepared food before electric fridges and microwaves existed. They visited the sitting room to discover how families listened to big wooden radios for entertainment instead of watching TVs. It was a fun morning out that really helped us picture how much our home lives have changed over the past century!
