    Year 6 Ironbridge update A fun day at Blists Hill Victorian Town today followed by a visit to THE Iron Bridge. The children were able to change their modern money into Victorian Shillings to spend in the various shops and spoke to many 'Victorian's' to find out more about how different life was at the time. We then visited THE Iron Bridge due to popular demand and take advantage of the photo opportunity Now time for dinner, quiz & games before some much needed sleep hopefully!
