National Waterfront Museum, Swansea

February 21, 2006

The children enjoyed a very interesting and informative day when we visited the museum in Swansea. They saw pictures and films about coal and coalminers, lots of photographs of large ships.

The children looked in amazement at the large models of cars and aeroplanes. They saw photographs of how things looked in yesteryear. How kitchens were set out, dinning room etc. and what clothes people wore. They were amazed at the long full dresses ladies wore and laughed at the men in their top hats. They saw films about coalmines and how the miners excavated the coal from the mines.

They had lunch and entered a colouring competition, they enjoyed it so much they all want to go back again soon.
