Children Who Lived 100 Years Ago |
|
| Over the last term we
have been looking at the lives of children who lived 100 years ago.
We have been on a great many school outings, which have included two
trips to the Museum of London and a trip to the Geffrye Museum. At the
Geffrye Museum we saw loads of historical objects and learnt how very
precious tea leaves were. We got to meet a Costermonger at the Museum
of London. He was very funny and said we could work for him. He was
really surprised that we could all read and write unlike himself and
his children. |

Our bookwork has been very interesting and each one
of us chose our own particular question to investigate. After finding
out the answers to everybody’s questions, we know an awful lot of
information about the way of life 100 years ago. We are looking forward
to our final trip, at the end of term, to the Ragged School Museum, where
will meet a servant girl called Polly. We have learnt rhymes to sing to
her, that will help her to work especially, on wash day. Throughout our topic, we have been watching episodes of Magic Grandad. The children in the story are taken back in time and on magical adventures with their Grandad. We have been learning to tell the time and, after lots of practice and making our very own clocks, we can tell the time whether it be digital or analogue!
