Victorian Day

On Wednesday we spent the day learning what it was like to be a child in the Victorian times. We had fun experiencing a Victorian school room, we wrote on slates with chalk and used a pen and ink. We played with Victorian toys and did some Victorian line drawings of plants. We loved it!!

Using slates!

We practised writing our sentences on Victorian slates!

We visited the prayer garden in school and looked out at God's creation, We thought about what an amazing world it is and said thank you to God.

English

In English, we have begun to write our stories about Jack and the Beanstalk. We have been trying to think about composing sentences using capital letters and full stops. We have tried to included expanded nouns in our stories and sequencing words to start our sentences.

Year 1 had a really good try to write some of their own sentences with a little help.
