Today at the Howick Historical Village the learners were offered the opportunity to try out games from the 19th Century, Victorian times. Some of these games, although old, were completely new to the learners. Scarlett was brave enough to have a go at walking on the wooden stilts. She was a little nervous at first but quickly got the hang of it and was soon zooming around the courtyard. Scarlett even gave the big stilts and some other games a go, all with a positive attitude!
