Victorian Day 2019
Poppy Brown
Mississippi class took part in a fun-filled Victorian Day where we all looked fantastic in our Victorian costumes. In the morning, we learned about Victorian inventions and the Industrial Revolution. In the afternoon, we had a visitor from Thackray Medical Museum who taught us about life in a workhouse and let us look at some primary historic sources to help us to find out about four people who lived during the Victorian times. We dressed up as these four characters and found out about their families, jobs and the diseases they got. It was an excellent and informative day.
