We have enjoyed finding out about how Christmas was celebrated by the Victorians and had a very interesting time at Reading Museum today.
The children found out how Victorian homes were decorated and what would be placed on the tree. It was interesting to see what was to be found in a child’s Christmas stocking.
We ceremoniously stirred the pudding, played Victorian games, made Christmas cards and acted out a pantomime. Do you recognise some of the characters in the photos?
The children have also been excited by the party games which they played in the classroom this week and have decided that their favourites were – pass the smile and my uncle does not like peas. Find out more by looking at these games on the Victora and Albert Museum website – www.vam.ac.uk
We look forward to seeing you at the performances of our play on Tuesday 13th December at 1.30p.m. or Wednesday 14th December at 9.30a.m.
