Term 1, week 7
On Tuesday 13th October 2026, children enjoyed a day out at the Museum of Kent Life where they were immersed in the life of people in the Victorian Era. They learnt about shopping habits, how schools were only for the fortunate children, and what subjects children were taught (boys different to girls!). They learnt about the different jobs children as young as 5 had to do and how dangerous they were. Children learnt about the life of Florence Nightingale, how she helped change British nursing and children practised bandaging each other, showing kind nursing skills. Children even learnt how to make a rag rug with a bodger which was a new invention. They also enjoyed the animals and a tractor ride!
Back in school, children have been learning how to double numbers in maths and learning about even numbers.
In RE, children learnt about the kindness of others and in Science, children continued their learning about the different weather we experience in this country, where rain comes from and how it is formed in particular.
Have a great weekend
