Autumn 2 -Revolution – The Victorians

A History based unit. During Autumn 2, Year 6 will be investigating and interpreting the past. They will focus on the Victorian era. The children will look at recognising primary and secondary sources and their reliability, who the Victorians were, rich and poor children, the young Queen Victoria, crime and punishment, daily chores, the Industrial Revolution and Victorian inventions. We also hope to hold a Victorian School Day, where pupils dress up and experience lessons as Victorian children, learning through roleplay.
