P6/7 become Victorian Pupils

In IDL we have been learning about the Victorians.  Last week we were lucky enough to visit Scotland Street Museum to experience what it was like to be a Victorian pupil.  Every time we were asked a question, we had to stand up and say the answer, then say ‘sir’ at the end.  Some children had to  wear a ‘dunce’ hat, which was used to ridicule children who got the wrong answer.  We also had to do handwriting with a quill dipped in ink.  Mine was a mess!!  Adam Pollok P7dsc00707 dsc00848 dsc00698 dsc00845 dsc00765
