In glorious sunshine, our P-HIC children walked through the park to Upminster Windmill where they were greeted by ‘Mrs Abrahams’, the wife of a miller. Throughout the trip, the children were able to learn about the history of the windmill and what it was used for. They were very impressed by the fact that the windmill was built in 1803 and is still standing today!
To bring the windmill experience to life, the children were able to dress up as farm and windmill workers from long ago and were able to have a go at grounding the grain into flour.
After a lovely lunch in the garden, the children made their very own windmills. What a fantastic morning!
