Year 2 have had a great day learning more about the life of a Victorian child. The children really entered into the spirit of the day, dressing up as Victorian children and playing along with the changes to the classroom.

The children experienced what school life was like – writing with fountain pens and ink, reciting the times table and learning poems by heart. We then tried ‘gruel’ with interesting results.

Later on in the day, we explored different Victorian toys, made a rag wreath and practiced singing Victorian Christmas carols. What a great day!
