On Monday we re-hooked the children into our current expedition, Diverse Doncaster – Where do I belong? by inviting them to compare their own school experience to that of a Victorian child. We changed our seating plan, chanted times tables, wrote in chalk and discussed the punishments the children of the past would have had to endure if they didn’t do as their teacher told them. Many thanks to our volunteers Mrs Stone and Kalab for showing everyone what would happen if you didn’t get your work right. Mrs Stone was even taken outside for ‘six of the best’.
It really was great fun but we all decided we much prefer the modern day Green Top methods of learning to those in the past!
