In Year 4 we are learning about the Victorians, in particular the life of a poor working Victorian Child. We have been reading non fiction books and studied historical sources of evidence, which show the poor working conditions within a workhouse, factory and coal mine. We have used these sources of evidence to help us with our creative writing.
Year 4 have also taken part in a drama day run by Redbridge Drama Centre. We imagined that we were poor Victorian Children working in the workhouse. This experience also helped us to write a diary.
We have been reading and studying Oliver Twist which we have based our school production on 'Olivia'.
