Pre-Preparatory Department Preparatory Department  School News VICTORIAN DAY Pupils from Reception to Form 6 experienced life as Victorian schoolchildren for the day. The boys and girls, aged between 5 and 11, dressed in Victorian costume and took part in lessons in a Victorian schoolroom during the morning. The children sat in rows on benches and had slates to write on. After a Victorian lunch of stew served from a huge cooking pot, the children were able to handle objects and clothing from the Victorian era and were able to learn more about life as a child in the 18th century. This hands-on experience was much enjoyed by everyone and gave the children a taste of life before technology came to the classroom.
