Lower One visited The Ragged School Museum on Tuesday as part of their history work on The Victorians. They experienced what it would have been like to be living in poor London and attending the first free school for ‘ragged’ children. They were shown some of the punishments such as the back straightener and the finger stokes, as well as practicing their arithmetic, poems, money, alphabet and vocal drills. In the afternoon, they then went into a ‘Victorian home’ experience where they got to look at everyday items such as water bottles, mangles, dollies (the Victorian washing machine), irons, hairbrushes and lots more. They had a great time dressing up and learning all about The Victorians. Thank you to Josh, Mrs Perkins and Colin for a fantastic day!
