The children were guided around the museum and learned about how the Jefferson family were instrumental in bringing serum, sugar and molasses to Whitehaven. The found out ships travelled from Whitehaven to Africa to collect slaves, then on to America to collect the rum, sugar and molasses. They also watched a video of how rum is made. ### Year 2 Rum Story Visit [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-2-rum-story-visit/EB25C4C3-C6C4-495B-9AD2-64366199FDAF.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/gallery/year-2-rum-story-visit/EB25C4C3-C6C4-495B-9AD2-64366199FDAF.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-2-rum-story-visit/50936C44-6A79-412D-B233-3B0D7642ED33.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/gallery/year-2-rum-story-visit/50936C44-6A79-412D-B233-3B0D7642ED33.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-2-rum-story-visit/8F11980A-39AC-4F35-9BF5-854D25D78851.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/gallery/year-2-rum-story-visit/8F11980A-39AC-4F35-9BF5-854D25D78851.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-2-rum-story-visit/9CD507C9-9DBC-4AE8-B3B1-39D027A8E3AD.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/gallery/year-2-rum-story-visit/9CD507C9-9DBC-4AE8-B3B1-39D027A8E3AD.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-2-rum-story-visit/F9F0964F-35AE-44C6-A618-A078EA5D4687.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/gallery/year-2-rum-story-visit/F9F0964F-35AE-44C6-A618-A078EA5D4687.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-2-rum-story-visit/CD5C4987-DD79-437B-8048-B51E60D937F9.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/gallery/year-2-rum-story-visit/CD5C4987-DD79-437B-8048-B51E60D937F9.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-2-rum-story-visit/26B9EC08-6704-4D54-8EF7-40D03C7E246B.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/gallery/year-2-rum-story-visit/26B9EC08-6704-4D54-8EF7-40D03C7E246B.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-2-rum-story-visit/C88CFB18-C55E-4667-A38C-A1471FB2110E.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/gallery/year-2-rum-story-visit/C88CFB18-C55E-4667-A38C-A1471FB2110E.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-2-rum-story-visit/B9DE2C3D-564B-4CEA-A490-D04E908B08A3.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/gallery/year-2-rum-story-visit/B9DE2C3D-564B-4CEA-A490-D04E908B08A3.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-2-rum-story-visit/23FDE891-E013-4894-8BE9-258310CDA434.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/gallery/year-2-rum-story-visit/23FDE891-E013-4894-8BE9-258310CDA434.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-2-rum-story-visit/72B2769B-98A1-4486-9747-E37E2260E6A2.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/gallery/year-2-rum-story-visit/72B2769B-98A1-4486-9747-E37E2260E6A2.jpeg) [Year 2](https://st-bridgets-pri.cumbria.sch.uk/blog/tag/year-2) [History](https://st-bridgets-pri.cumbria.sch.uk/blog/tag/history) [Curriculum enrichment](https://st-bridgets-pri.cumbria.sch.uk/blog/tag/curriculum-enrichment) [ Y6 Outdoor Art](https://st-bridgets-pri.cumbria.sch.uk/blog/2022-06-30-10-37-45-y6-outdoor-art) [Y6 Sports Day ](https://st-bridgets-pri.cumbria.sch.uk/blog/2022-07-01-15-21-06-y6-sports-day) ![St Bridget's Catholic Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/logo/St_Bridgets_Logo_White_Linear.png) **St Bridget's Catholic Primary School** St Bridget's Lane Egremont Cumbria CA22 2BD Tel: 01946 820320 ## School Enquiries Contact Mrs Parr in the Office for further information. © Copyright 2018–2026 St Bridget's Catholic Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://st-bridgets-pri.cumbria.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
