1 Preston Manor On March the 1st, year five went on an exciting school trip to the Victorian house of Preston Manor. They had to dress up in a Victorian style costume and also they had to speak only when someone spoke to them. We interviewed 2 people from year 5 to see how the trip went! Q1. What did you think of the house when you first arrived? Lilly: The house was a bit boring, I thought it could use more decorations. Jess C: I thought it would be bigger than a normal Victorian house. Q2. Were the Housekeepers intimidating? Lilly: At first I thought they were scary but I got used to the fact they were intimidating. Jess C: Yes. I think they were strict but I managed not to get told off. Q3. What was your favourite thing you did? Lily: I really enjoyed getting all the juice out of an orange. It was satisfying. Jess: I liked churning the milk; it slowly turned to cream. Q4. What was your favourite room? Lily: My favourite room was the drawing room also I liked the ladies bedroom. Jess: My favourite room was the kitchen. It was fantastic fun. It looked like they all had a fabulous trip and learnt a lot about life in Victorian times.

People all around the world buy red noses to raise money which goes towards poverty and poor disadvantaged children. Kingswood have been selling red noses in the school office. There are 10 different red noses to collect but there is one super rare one, the Franken-nose, which is silver and black. So many people were trying to get it that Mr Steele had to order a second batch of noses! This is the ultra-rare red nose! Also we were given a special comic relief book voucher for 1. In total we raised an amazing , including mufti day, for the charity. Article by: Etienne & Christopher
