Hello everybody and welcome to our latest class blog. We have had another great week and were kept very busy by Mr Hardworkerson our new Victorian School Master! (Although he did look rather like our own Mr Richards!) This week we have:
* Enjoyed a series of lessons taught in the setting of a Victorian classroom including reading, writing and arithmetic!
* Carried out independent research to discover as much as we could about Victorian inventions (including our favourites of Jelly Babies and Ice Cream!)
* Investigated the similarities and differences between a beach holiday in 1890’s Edinburgh at Portobello Beach and a typical beach holiday today.
* Learned a traditional Victorian Song called “The Wild Honeysuckle” and it was very difficult to do because we don’t use some of the traditional words in the song anymore. We tried our very best and were successful learners.
We have really enjoyed our learning this week although Mr Hardworkerson is very strict! We hope Mr Richards is back next week for our trip to New Lanark Heritage Centre on Tuesday. We will post some pictures of our trip to next week’s blog. In the meantime, please enjoy our photographs from our Victorian Class and have a great weekend!
Great pictures. It looks like you have been learning lots about the Victorians. I’m glad Mr Hardworkerson is not my teacher. He looks quite frightening!
P5/4 you will really enjoy your trip to New Lanark, it really is a fascinating place. Neve might have been caught on camera by Mr Harworkerson smiling and laughing, but she’ll not get away with any of that in the school room at New Lanark! Enjoy P5/4, I look forward to reading your next blog post.
