Today saw this first students tackle the Lakes District Museum's GOLD 150 programme! The first of two groups of Year 7 & 8 students from Queenstown Primary completed a series of activities all centred around the life of a miner in the 1860s. The second group of classes will visit on Friday.

Students had to 'shop like a miner' down Buckingham Street, work out the different types of gold, how it can be mined and then experience first hand daily chores a miner would have undertook.

Queenstown Primary we hope learnt some new information and have a new appreciation for a miner's life! Post us a message about your visit!
