The Victorians and the Industrial Revolution

We love learning about the Victorians in Year 6!

We learn about the Victorians in the autumn term.

We begin by learning about the daily life of a variety of Victorians and end our topic by inviting our parents and carers to join us in taking Afternoon Tea.

If you want to find out more about what we cover, please look at our topic overview and knowledge organiser below.

As the topic progresses, we will add more of our learning to this page.

Victorian Tea

On Friday 24th January the Year 6 children invited their parents and carers into school to share information they had learnt about the Victorian Times and they made cookies and sandwiches for the tea.

It was a fabulous turn out! For their charity, Oxfam, they raised £106.

'' Lovely spread of food.''

''Nice to have a get together and see the children's work.''

''Lovely to be able to see the work David has been doing, as well as the rest of Year 6.''

''Lovely afternoon. Nice treats and drinks. Enjoyed.''

''Looked lovely and a lot of effort was put in by everyone. Even better if there had been a no butter option.''

''Lovely afternoon tea spent with Francesca. The cakes were delicious and I was impressed with the work. Even better if there had been a choice of sandwiches without butter.''

Christmas Party Day

On 18th December the Year 6 enjoyed their Christmas party.

Newstead Abbey - 27th November 2024

Year 6 had a great time at Newstead Abbey stepping back into the Victorian times.
