Victorious Victorians!

Today year 5 visited the Dean Heritage Centre to help them to learn more about life during the Victorian times.

During their trip, they were involved in 2 workshops - One being the Victorian Schoolroom and the other, a Forester's Cottage, restored to what it would have been like during the Victorian times.

Here are some pictures from the day!
Meeting Ma Meek's pet, Curly Tail


Doing the 3 R's in the Victorian Classroom

Tackling the washing

A bit of Victorian schoolroom punishment - The back straightener!


Ma Meek's kitchen - where's the oven and fridge?

We even managed to sneak a trip to the museum, shop and playpark!

Hooray!

Well done year 5 - you behaved brilliantly!

The fire in the kitchen looks just right for cooking a piece of toast. Those were the days. Looks as if it was a very interesting and fun day.
