Wimpole Hall

On Saturday we went to Wimpole Hall.

We saw lots of animals on the farm there:

Shetland pony

a kid

Pigs trying to drink milk - they ended up pushing their mummy down!

Highland cow

Lambs that have just been born! They are still wet.

We went to the garden. It reminded us of The Secret Garden:

Then we went to the hall. We did quizzes at the house. There was one really posh one and the servants one. I did the posh one. I learned that:

1. there were seven drawers in some chests of drawers. The reason why is because there is seven days in the week and there is one drawer for each of them.
2. the stairs have different railings. The posh one had a wooden railing because it will last longer and feels smoother. The servants have a metal one which isn't as nice.
3. the stairs are wide and shallow. The wide ones are the posh ones. They do that so two people can go down at a time beside each other and because they look like they are gliding down the stairs and look more elegant!
