Industrial Revolutional forum.

Hi!
Yesterday we went to a Industrial Revolution forum. It was at someones house.  We had to do a  speech about an invention that was invented during the Industrial Revolution. Me and Jemima talked about the hoover. We also did activities like make a victorian town out of play-dough. We also made a water wheel and a poster about child labour.

The Industrial Revolution started in the 1720s. It was a time when lots of machines were invented. Instead of  people doing things by hand, machines did it for them. Life would be very different without the Industrial Revolution.

Clifton Park mueseum

Hello,
yesterday we went to clifton park mueseum.We did some victorian washing. First we had to grate the carbolic soap into the tub. Then we had to use a pauncher. (I think it is called that!)

Then we had to use the dolly.

After that we scrubbed the tea towel on the washing board. Then we had to dry it by winding it through the mangle.

Washing took a lot longer than it does now!

Next we did the victorian cooking!
We made wholemeal and apple cookies on the victorian range. It's called a range because it  can do a range of things like boil a kettle, bake biscuits and fry things.

The Range

Stirring the butter!

Getting the cookies out!

After wards we played in the playground
