A day at school -Victorian style!

On Friday 15th October, Class Y5P visited Blaise Castle Museum as part of their project on Victorians.

The children dressed in period costume and had the opportunity to experience what lessons might have been like in a Victorian classroom. They wrote on slates, learned a poem by heart and did maths that involved some knowledge of pre-decimal money. However, before this the children had to undergo the hand and shoe inspection that Victorian pupils had to go through every day.

During the second part of the visit, the class were able to handle some of the Victorian artefacts and learn how they were used.

It was a lovely visit and was enjoyed by everyone.
