📚⏳ “For History Day at Holmleigh, Acacia Class got to experience a taste of what it was like to be in a Victorian school, including some of the punishments and gruelling work. It’s safe to say they much prefer schooling in this era, with me as their teacher!” ~ Mr Richard

📚⏳ “Year 4 took part in a gruelling Victorian workshop for History Day! The children entered the room separately as boys and girls and were addressed by their surnames only, just as Victorian children would have been.
They were then challenged to complete a handwriting task using only their right hand, as left-handed writing was banned during this period. The workshop gave the children a fascinating insight into what school life was like in Victorian times!” ~ Miss Marsh

📚⏳ “We celebrated History Day!
Year 5 Olive had a fantastic day! We celebrated History Day with a REAL Victorian classroom and participated in NewsWise, a workshop for schools run by The Guardian. We had the best of the past and the present!
Year 3 Elder also engaged brilliantly in History Day. It was lovely to have our lessons in a Victorian classroom setting!” ~ Mrs P and Mrs Barrett-Simmons
