1B had such a fantastic time on their visit to St John’s House today! The children took part in a range of different activities such as doing the laundry, a day at school and house jobs that helped us to understand what life was like for people in Victorian times. Please take a look at our pictures and videos below!
A Day at Victorian School
The children took part in lessons such as reading, writing and drawing practice. They also did some exercise outside with their teacher!
Learning how to do the laundry
The laundry maid showed us what jobs she had to do everyday at the big house she lived in. We then had a turn at pumping the water, grating soap and rinsing and drying the clothes.
Different Victorian Houses
We learnt all about different houses in Victorian times. The houses were very different for rich and poor people. We also dressed up in Victorian clothes and had a go at doing some of the house hold jobs that butlers and maids had to do everyday!
