How was Victorian money different to modern money?

Yesterday Y6 time-travelled back to the year 1893 to learn what it was like to be a Victorian school child. They completed drills and played games on the playground, learned calligraphy and worked with Victorian money.

Today we had a visit from a mechanical engineer. He came to help Y6 with their DT project - to design and make a cup sleeve that will keep a drink hot even in Arctic temperatures! Based on his recommendations they chose an insulating material to go inside. #STEMeducation

Yesterday, Y6 asked “What is science fiction?”. To start our new writing topic, the children looked at a range of literary genres. They completed a sorting activity; reading extracts and using clues on the book covers to deduce the genre. 📚
