Year 3/4 Visit to Middleport Pottery Yesterday, our Year 3/4 pupils had a brilliant trip to Middleport Pottery in Stoke-on-Trent the historic home of Burleigh Pottery, where beautiful ceramics have been made on the same site since the late 1800s. They discovered how the factory operates daily from mixing clay and shaping pots to glazing and firing using both traditional and modern techniques. They also explored the original Victorian buildings, saw old machinery still in use, and learned what life was like for the workers who built this pottery heritage. The highlight? Getting handson with clay to create their very own model pot banks, complete with chimneys and intricate details. The children were so creative and enthusiastic! We were very proud of their excellent behaviour they listened carefully, asked thoughtful questions, and showed great respect throughout the visit. Well done, Year 3/4 you made us proud, and what a memorable way to learn about Stoke-on-Trent's pottery heritage! #MiddleportPottery #StokeOnTrent #Year34Trip #Pottery #HandsOnLearning #ThursfieldPrimary
