Today P2/3 went back in time to a Victorian classroom, with a Victorian teacher ! They lined up this morning like any other day until the bell went and the teacher appeared, cloak and cane ! Children came into class and learned about Queen Victoria, took part in Victorian writing lessons using slates and copybooks and practised the cursive alphabet.

After lunch they took part in a Drill and learned about arithmetic, Geography and History, reciting the dates of Kings and Queen from the tudor period to the present Queen, Victoria. Throughout the day children experienced Victorian punishments,  for asking a question or even speaking without permission.  Look at what the children had to say about their experience.
