This term in history we have been looking at holidays in Victorian times.

We have written postcards about what a day trip or holiday might have been like back in the 1850s.

We talked about what was similar including building sandcastles, swimming in the sea and if we were lucky we might get a ice cream.

Some of the differences in the holidays are that you had to pay a 1p to sit on a bench, you changed into a swimming costume that looked more like a dress in a bathing machine and you might have the chance to watch a Punch and Judy show.

Eleanor our Star Writer was able to tell us about her trip to the sea side,  how the sea was freezing cold and that she enjoyed an ice cream too.

Eleanor is our Star Writer because she remembered all of the ‘Non-Negotiables’ which include writing neatly and on the line, finger spaces between each word, capital letters and full stops.

We are very proud so keep up the good work Eleanor.

Mrs Gibbs and all the Silverbell Team.
