Spring 2

Our curriculum drivers for Spring 2 are History,  Computing and Design Technology.

We will be learning about Skegby’s mining heritage and how the local community has  changed over time since the 1900s. 

How has Skegby changed since the 1900s? 

On Friday the 19th of November, Year 2 visited the National Coal Mining Museum. During our visit, we met Sam Fletcher, a 5 year old boy, from the early 1800s. Sam shared his experiences of being a 'Trapper' in the mines and the jobs of his sisters, brother and father underground. We had the opportunity to meet Fin, at the Pony Discovery Centre. We discovered the story of the equidae that worked underground and in the UK’s mines and provided transport above-ground.With our helmets,  head torches and a tour guide,  we experienced the fascinating world of coal mining ... journeying 140m underground to  discover 180 years of mining history at the Caphouse Colliery in Barnsley.
