A DAY IN A LIFE OF A VICTORIAN SCHOOL

Last Tuesday we dressed up in a olden days costume for our 150 years celebration! People joined either a walking school bus or they rode a horse or donkey! We had to play outside before the bell rang and the Mr Forsyth, our teacher, checked us for clean hands.

The girls would have worn Ankle length skirts and a long sleeved top tucked into their skirt, leather boots or shoes and a bonnet. The boys would wear little cheese cutter caps and shorts and braces with a shirt.

The bell wasn't like normal we used the old bell. At lunch time the Arrow Miners Band came and played some music, some people were dancing to them! All of us had an olden day lunch in a paper bag such as a cheese sandwich and maybe a bit of fruit and a two biscuits. We did P.E. with Mr Winders the whole school did some stretches and star jumps. We had our picture taken by Mr Young. Every class got their picture taken. Everyone was in style and looked really good!

In my class we used a little book, in the book was some handwriting which we had to copy out, and some art of a sheep.

There was a Dunces cap which some people did wear. Also some teachers were pretending that they actually caned students. The day was really fun!
