Victorian Living History

Primary 7 pupils experienced first hand today what life was really like for school children in Victorian times.

School lady, Miss Anderson re-created a Victorian school room in which the pupils had their fingernails inspected

for cleanliness, their shoes inspected for muck and their morals inspected for Godliness.

The class received a lesson in the 3R’s, Reading, aRithmetic and wRiting. The class were also shown the

extreme measures taken in  Victorian times to ensure that pupil discipline was never a problem.

The class then took part in an education workshop in which they had the opportunity to experience what it was

like to wash clothes on an old washboard, make butter and view some old Victorian Inventions.
