Year 6 Victorian Day
16 March 2010
16 March 2010
As part of their History curriculum, our Year 6 pupils and staff took a trip through time back to the Victorian Era. Gone were the computers and interactive whiteboards. Even fibre-tipped handwriting pens were put away as the children enjoyed (or endured!) lessons of dictation and learning by rote.
The afternoon saw the welcome return of 'The Difference Engine', who offered an insight into the lives of Victorian Servants. Children learned about the daily chores such as cooking and cleaning, all without the aid of modern appliances. But it wasn't all hard work; there was also a visit to the music hall and the chance to play with Victorian style toys.
