Victorian Week

We all had a great time during Victorian Week. The children had some lessons in the Victorian style and had to use traditional dip pens and ink pots to practise copperplate handwriting. I was impressed by 5MD's ability to stand up straight throughout the posture lesson. A remarkable amount of pupils were able to walk whilst balancing a book on their head! 

We also researched Victorian inventions such as the telephone, typewriter, electric lightbulb, bicycle, camera, sewing machine and radio. Did you know that the Victorians also invented ice cream? Do you know of any other Victorian inventions? Which Victorian invention means the most to you?

We attempted to memorise a poem by reciting it as a class and individually. The last line proved tricky to master! Who can remember the correct ending to the poem?

Good, better, best
Never let it rest
Until your good is better.....
