THE VICTORIANS
Some of the juniors compared views out of a Victorian steam train carriage with views out of a modern day train carriage.
These are some of the areas that we cover in our Victorian topic:
- place the Victorian period in a historical timeline
- compare Victorian life with life today
- research Victorian life in our locality
- trace the monarchy timeline back from the present day
- understand the significance of the British Empire
- identify the countries which still have a strong British legacy
- research key Victorian people who made changes that affect
the way that we live today - compare the Victorian education system with their own education
- be aware of working conditions, the Factory Acts and the role of children in factories
- comparisons of law and order
- comparisons of working, middle and upper classes
- understand how developments in transport and machinery changed the world in which we live
- investigate, through independent research, a famous Victorian pioneer who's contribution
made significant changes that still have impact on our life today.
The children visited the Victorian Schoolrooms in Llangollen to find out what a day in the life of a Victorian child was REALLY like!
