As part of their Victorian Topic, "What was life like for Victorian children" Year 5 enjoyed travelling back in time to George Street Chapel in Oldham today!  They met families from the past who explained that life was tough for most Victorians.  Children had to work both inside and outside their homes without, of course, some of the inventions that were discovered during the Victorian era.  They enjoyed "washing day" and their time at school, followed by some creative activities in the afternoon such as making peg dolls, stained glass windows and handwriting with pen and ink!  Everyone contributed to a bit of problem solving by fixing together two giant jigsaws, with a little help from the grown-ups!  The staff at George Street Chapel commented on the fantastic behaviour and enthusiasm from our Year 5 class, as well as their beautiful manners!  Well done everyone!  Mrs Blomeley
