Sudbury Hall museum of childhood

Today we visted Sudbury Hall museum of childhood, there were lots of toys children used to play with, and about childrens lives. There were old toys and clothes and bedrooms. Every room had a little hole where just children could see, there were little mice inside themed to each room. it was fun to figure out where the hole was. There was a chimney where you could climb in and it was pitch black I was feeling around and there was a box I climbed onto and then I found another hole and it was as small as a small picture frame, I squeezed through into a tunnel and there was a small ramp it was made for children so you had to squeeze. In the old days children had to go through real chimneys with a bucket of water and brushes to clean them, they were even smaller. One of the other child labour work was to work in mines and pull wagons of coal. Some children had to clean clothes. When we walked in there were bedrooms on the ceiling showing bedsrooms from different times.
