Revolution
"Are you listening, boy? What is twenty-seven plus forty-five? Come on - faster now, we haven't got all day!"
Find out about super-strict schools by travelling back in time to a Victorian classroom. Make sure you're on your best behaviour though, as punishments are unquestionably terrible!
Discover a time when great minds thought new thoughts and ingenious inventors created so many things we take for granted today: the electric light bulb, the telephone and even the modern flushing toilet!
You might even get to invent things yourself in the Victorian Dragon's Den...
We will research a time when Victoria was Queen and Albert was Prince Consort - when some people lived in slums while others prospered.
Topic Homework
Victorian school day
We have spent the day in a Victorian classroom. We have had our nails checked to make sure we are clean. Then we had to write using slate and chalk - which was not easy. We have been had to recite the Lord's Prayer, remember important dates and chant our tables. Then we took part in drill and a Victorian playtime. The morning was finished with a visit from a strict headteacher.
There was also punishment for those children who were not able to behave! The screams echoed around the corridors!
A wonderful morning, which has made us all thankful that we were bit in school during this period of history.
