Yesterday Portobello School showed their expert panning skills with all students striking it rich in the Arrow River!! Well done!

As well as great panning students learnt about the history of the area through artefacts, spent time in the 'old gaol', visited the Chinese village and stepped back in time to the 1880s with Miss Gray.

Here on a 'Peninsula to Peak' camp students have seen how the landscape changes as you go from the coastline to the inland Lake area. Luckily, now we can get a bus or car to experience the journey but 130 years ago you would have probably walked!!

Portobello we hope you enjoyed your time at the Lakes District Museum - write a blog to tell us about it!
