Back to school!

9:28am Thursday 8th February 2007 in Local

BORED borough kids can be sent back to the past during half term with the help of the Black Country Museum.

From Saturday February 10 to Sunday February 18, children can discover the delights of playtime as it would have been 100 years ago.

Youngsters can roll hoops along the cobbled street, play hopscotch on the pavement and test their skill with the whip and top and skittles.

Parents can also teach them a lesson by sending them back to school, where they can get creative and try their hand at writing with old fashioned pen and ink.

Visitors will also be able to travel in style on the Museum tramcar, take a ride on the funfair and meet costumed characters who await with enthralling tales of days gone by.
