A full day of lessons based around an inspection of a Victorian classroom.  Your inspector Mr O.F. Sted will be assuring the appropriate standards are being maintained, with strict discipline.

​

For a more authentic feel, a hall (preferably) or a classroom should be laid out with chairs and tables in rows.  Copies of each class register will be used for a Victorian registration.  Likewise, photocopies from the provided master copybook will be needed for your children to use.  Each child will also need to bring a two pence coin to pay for their day’s education (all coins will be returned to the class teacher).

 

What might the day include?

 

Victorian school days are a great opportunity for children to dress up.  Although discipline will be strict, the emphasis is on having FUN, using artefacts, role-play, and games to teach history in an engaging and meaningful way.  A Victorian school day can include any or all of these topics:

 

o  Rules in the classroom.

o  School prayer and religious instruction/assembly.

o  Reading, spelling and vocal gymnastics.

o  Handwriting (with dip pens).

o  Arithmetic with slates.

o  Physical drill.

o  History and Geography of the time.

o  Object lessons using Victorian toys and games.

 

Paper towels may be needed in the event of an ink spillage!
