|
| Getting from A to B
Most of the people in Victorian Britain would travel around on foot. Some people had horse drawn carriages but some rich people were lucky enough to have one of the first motor cars or to travel on steam trains. Imagine what it would be like to travel in one of these new inventions. Write a letter describing what the journey was like. You can draw the transportation to illustrate your work. |
Read all about it!
The Victorian era was a time of great change. They invented many things we take for granted. Write a news report about one invention and the impact it would have on the lives of the Victorian people. (You could write about the steam train, camera, telephone or even coca cola which was first introduced way back in 1886!) |
| Those magnificent men in their flying machines.
The Victorians were very interested in developing manned flight. Design and make your own flying machine. |
Mmmmmm…Tasty Treats
Can you find out about food in the Victorian times? Design a menu card for a well off Victorian house showing the food they would eat, or draw a picture and label the different dishes the poor would have eaten. |
| Let me entertain you
Children had to make their own entertainment in the Victorian times – there was no TV! One of the ways they kept themselves busy was by putting on puppet shows in homemade shoebox style theatres. Design and make your own puppets. |
Flick book
Design and make a flick book that shows how an area of Britain might have changed during the Victorian era. The ‘Industrial Revolution’ meant that rural communities grew and factories and chimneys soon dominated the skyline. |
You have your maths sheet in your books. Here is a link for the video clip as an extra if you can are able to watch it first…
I hope you have a good weekend and look forward to seeing you on Monday.
