We worked very hard during the Spring term, some of us at school and some of us at home! We enjoyed being Historians during this topic and learning all about Beatrix Potter’s life and then during the Victorian period what life was like in schools and then what life was like for rich and poor children. We were all very glad we are at school today rather than then!

We worked independently to present all of our findings in History – we were all very proud of what we achieved!

Jessica recalled ‘If families were poor boys and girls would have to work in factories to get food to eat.’

Ava stated “Beatrix Potter is remembered for writing a book called Peter Rabbit and we like this story! She didn’t go to school and instead a governess came and taught her at home.”
