OUR INCREDIBLE LEARNING JOURNEY ARCHIVE
Autumn 2:
Victorian Day 20.11.20
We dressed up for Victorian day. We experienced a typical day in a Victorian school with the 3 R’s: reading, writing and arithmetic. We then explored different Victorian toys and games and read through some fun non-fiction books on the strict Victorians.
We looked at examples of different Victorian toys. We then made our own Jack-in the box to play with.
