Let's as we explore life in Victorian England. We'll explore what Queen Victoria's life was like and how she became Queen. We will also look at what life was like for different groups of people in Victorian England. We'll take a look inside houses for rich and poor people, examine what they ate and think about what life was like for different people. Learners will have the opportunity to explore different developments in Victorian understanding, for example how medicine developed and how communications improved. We will also learn about some key figures in Victorian society, such as Charles Darwin, Mary Anning and Sarah Forbes Bonetta.

Each week, we will look at a different topic and use a variety of photographs, images and video footage (where available) to learn about the past. Learners will be encouraged to share their thoughts after the lesson and to make connections and comparisons between life in Victorian times and life today. 

No prior learning is needed in this class.
