When the children left Mrs Pollock, they had the opportunity to make old peg dolls used by children over 100 years ago. Year 1 gained a rich understanding of old toys and what life was like for children in Victorian times.
Year 1 History: Victorian Toys
February 08, 2019
As part of their History project studying toys from the past, Year 1 had a special Victorian visitor: the toy factory owner Mrs Pollock. Our pupils took part in activities to learn about the difficulties faced by young people in Victorian times. Mrs Pollock explained the jobs the children would have to do if they were employed in the factory. Wearing straw boaters and flat caps, Year 1 used drama and traditional songs to act out various jobs before being allowed to play with Victorian toys.
