Our topic this half term has been 'The History of Queensbridge'. We found out that our school was built in the Victorian times and have been finding out what school was like for children growing up during this time. We had a pretend Victorian lesson where we used slate and chalk instead of paper, children could not speak unless spoken to by an adult and had to stand whenever an adult came into the room!
Here are some quotes from the children:
"I liked it becuase I liked using chalk and I liked how strict Dr Marozzi was being!"
"I think it was much worse to be a child at Victorian School, as there were no pencils and you couldn't go to the toilet and you couldn't use your left hand."
What an interesting topic.
