Having discussed how difficult life was for working class children in the Victorian era, our pupils have decided that doing their chores and completing homework are not that bad after all! One pupil described feeling very lucky and this seemed to be the general consensus throughout primary six ………….perhaps we should increase chores and homework!!
We have been exploring all aspects of Victorian working conditions, particularly focusing on child labour. The pupils have been analysing different sources of information from this time period and discussing which improvements in working laws genuinely helped protect children from such harsh conditions.
The children have been working hard practising for the cross country event and those who have decided not to take part will be attending the event acting as our roaming sports reporters.
Invention ideas are starting to fly around our classrooms, remember the inventor challenge homework is due on Friday 6th October.
REMINDERS –
PE – outdoor Kit on Mondays / Indoor kit on Wednesdays
Homework
Spelling- due on Friday. Please note that spelling homework jotters should NOT be handed in before Friday as the children should be using them to practise their spelling words daily.
Maths- if no sheet from teacher please practice times tables and number bonds to 1000
Best Regards,
Mrs Gilmour, Mrs Tully, Mr Shanks and Mrs Wylie
