Year 2 - Fabulous Victorian Day - 19th January 2018

What a wonderful time we all had in Year 2 on Wednesday.  The children's costumes were amazing and they all took part with great enthusiasm in the four morning activities with Mrs Beaton, Mr Chim-Chimney, Miss Nightingale and Miss Johnson.  As they progressed through the four activities they collected information about how the Victorians lived, comparing it to today. 

The children experienced what it would be like to go to a Victorian School, how to bake a Victoria Sponge Cake, play Victorian games and they even experienced a trip to the Crimean War with Florence Nightingale.
Later in the day Queen Victoria came to tea, she spoke with the children whilst enjoying the Victoria Sponge Cake the children baked earlier in the day.  Her Majesty left a parting gift of a magic key, she explained how this may take them back in time to Victorian times at any time!  The children have been keeping a close eye on it ever since.
What an exciting day we have had!  We will be using our experiences to inspire lots of writing through the coming weeks.
Hope you enjoy the pictures!
