I was doing the History Detectives workshop today, and while discussing primary sources with the full class in the introduction I mentioned blogs as a modern primary source. Some of them hadn't heard of blogs, so I told them that I write one and that I'd probably write about them tonight. I don't usually mention schools or children by name and I wouldn't do so now had the teacher not been present when I talked about it and raised no objection whatsoever, and, as I promised them, here it is:
The Children of Brumby Junior School year 5 came to the Farming Museum, and were really, really good - with a special mention for Josh and Leon who assure me that they are going to be famous one day - so you read it here first.

They were genuinely very good. In this instance the teachers were new to the workshop, but the helpers had been in previous years, and everyone was really on top of the job - which isn't always the case.

I would love to meet all the Children of Brumby Primary School.
It would also be an honour to meet Josh and Leon, whom I do hope will become famous one day.
I hope they all had fun. JW xx
