In History we located the Victorian period on the timeline in relation to what we already know about different time periods in the past.
The children began by thinking back to the Stone Age, Ancient Egypt, and some of the facts they remembered from KS1 about Queen Victoria. Together, we placed the Victorian period on a timeline and discussed where it fits compared with other important periods in history.
We talked about how long ago the Victorian period was, and what was happening before and after it, to help build a clearer picture of the past. The children enjoyed making connections between the different eras, and were curious to see how life and inventions changed over time.
This lesson has given us a strong foundation for our new History topic, and we are looking forward to exploring what everyday life was like in Victorian Britain over the coming weeks.
