The Autumn term got off to a great start in year 6 with our Victorian topic. We have been learning about the lives of Victorian rich and poor children and are quickly realising there was a big difference between the two! We have also been investigating Victorian artefacts – there were some very strange ones!  

We have also had great fun dressing in clothing of the time however we decided that we much preferred 21^stcentury clothing – it’s much easier to put on. In addition, in each class, we have been celebrating our Classmate of the week – in Shackleton they get to sit in Mrs Small’s chair, wearing the class crown whilst the rest of the class say why they think that person is classmate of the week, it is proving to be a very popular activity.
