Year Two learns how to be healthy
Year Two learns how to be healthy
Charlie, our wonderful school nurse, popped in to give our Year Two children an informative talk on how to keep themelves healthy. Miss Collins reported: "Charlie spoke to the children about what it means to be healthy: including getting enough sleep and having a proper bedtime routine. She also talked about regularly brushing their teeth, washing and keeping themselves clean. The children had a chance to respond and ask questions. They really enjoyed it!"
A TRIP TO THE VICTORIAN SCHOOL ROOM FOR YEAR FIVE
A TRIP TO THE VICTORIAN SCHOOL ROOM FOR YEAR FIVE
We have been taking our Year Five cohorts to Gunnersbury Park Museum for years to give them a taste of Victorian life. Although they are only acting, they get a real flavour of what life might have been like for Victorian children, both in the schoolroom and the workplace. It is always quite a shock for them to learn that many poorer children did not go to school and were forced to work.
The two-part trip saw them do a stint in the Victorian classroom, where they soon caught on that learning relied heavily and narrowly on the 'Three Rs' - reading, writing and arithmetic and the maxim, 'spare the rod and spoil the child,' was very much part of everyday school life. The left-handed were shunned, dunces hats were the order of the day and the slightest misbehaviour meant they had to stand in the corner. Next up was a trip below stairs to find out what life was like as a servant in a Downtonesque mansion. Lessons in butlering and being a maidservant opened their eyes to the harshness of Victorian childhood for many.
Despite learning about some of the grim realities for children living during the reign of Queen Victorian, our young urchins had lots of fun and looked absolutely splendid in their nineteenth century costumes. Hats off to our parents, whether that be top hat or mobcap, for togging them up so beautifully.
