The children are writing their own list poems about our school. We can’t wait to show you the finished pieces!
Victorian school day.
Today Year 1 took part in a Victorian school day. They took part in Drill, a Victorian form of exercise that all children participated in at the start of a day. Then they took part in Victorian arithmetic lessons, handwriting using ink fountain pens, reading and Latin. The children experience a Victorian playtime, playing with skipping ropes, hoops and hopscotch. They all have a fantastic, fun time dressed as Victorian children.
