The Victorians

P5A’s trip to Scotland Street Museum

1 Comment
Our topic this term is the Victorians. As part of our learning we experienced what it was like to go to school as a Victorian child. We got dressed like Victorian children, took part in maths and spelling lessons and got to use a quill with ink to write like the Victorians.
The boys lined up smartly before class.
The girls had to make sure they were an arm's length behind the person in front of them.
Rogan was selected to give out the chalk for our slates.
We had to put our hands on our head to show we were ready for the next task.
Rachel had to spell a word in front of the class.
Finn and Sophie using quills to do their handwriting.
The boys sat separately from the girls.
