| On 20th
June, years 5 and 6 had a Victorian day where we learnt about how
Victorian children lived and we also had to dress up as Victorian school
children.
To start the day, we had
to stand and talk in the playground - it was a lot different to the
usual football banter! The bell was rung and we were told to line up in
one girls' line and one boys'.
Next, we stood in the
hall, behind the benches, where our nail inspection took place. Mrs.
Myers and Mr. Mansfield were really strict too. we were told to stand up
and say, "Present Ma'am," or, "Present Sir," when our name was called
and then we had to pay a penny.
We lined up outside our
classroom and sat down at our desks, where there were three different
activities, writing an acceptable or an unacceptable note as to why a
child could not attend school, cross stitching (sewing) our first
initial and rural objects like a cup made out of a cows' horn. |
