Year 2 Step Back in Time


      Year 2 Step Back in Time

Year 2 spent a fantastic day at Gloucester Life Museum experiencing what life might have been like for a child 100 years ago. Donning smocks and cloth hats for the girls, and waistcoats and caps for the boys, first stop was a taste of a Victorian classroom. Everyone had their hands and nails checked for cleanliness, and they all had to pay a penny for a day’s education. They experienced how strict a Victorian teacher was as they recited times tables and practised hand-writing on slates. If they got it wrong, they were made to stand at the back of the classroom! After the strict discipline of the classroom, the children were relieved to be allowed to play with Victorian toys such as marbles and yo-yos. Everyone had a brilliant time, but were pleased to return to the kind and loving atmosphere at Berky!
