Year 5 Victorian Day

November 28, 2014

Year 5 pupils and teachers stepped back in time to experience a day at school in the Victorian era. Dressed for the occasion and wielding canes, Mrs Sanderson and Ms Munday ensured that strict discipline was maintained at all times. Any child who broke the rules had to stand in the corner and wear the dunce's hat or worse... receive the cane!

Throughout the day children carried out times-tables drills, copper-plate handwriting, spelling and reading. On the playground children performed a drill where there they marched, stretched and exercised. During a thoroughly engaging Victorian drama workshop in the large hall, Year 5 took part in roll play activities to help them understand the daily life of a poor working child in Victorian London.

Despite the harsh rules and even harsher punishments, pupils enjoyed dressing up and learning about Victorian times. However, they were very relieved to remove their caps and bonnets and return to the present day!
