What’s happening in Year 4 – Week 3

This week in Year 4, we went on a thrilling adventure to The Ragged School Museum.
We were transported into a traditional Victorian classroom with a Victorian teacher. The boys and girls were told to stand in separate lines and sit at opposite sides of the classroom for an authentic experience. Everyone was given a lesson that would typically be provided in a Ragged school. They experience the harsh, strict conditions that Victorian children would experience.

The next part of the experience was learning all about Victorian home life and the ‘homework’ of creating hairbrushes and match stick boxes that were given to the families. Some of the children also role-played how Victorian families would bathe and clean their clothes.
