Touching history…

What an absolute treat we had in class 9 this afternoon! We have been lucky enough to actually touch a bit of Victorian history and looked at some real Victorian coins, an actual Penny Black from 1840 (plus a super rare Tupenny Blue!) and an old musical box called a Symphonium, which still played its music beautifully!

Thank you Mrs Metcalf for bringing these fantastic objects in and making our Victorian topic even more exciting!

And thank you to Mollie too for bringing in a real morse code machine, linking with her fantastic homework project about Samuel Morse!

    I was really nervous when my mum came on to talk about the Victorian stuff but it went really well

    All the Victorian items were really interesting! I especially liked the symphonium because its music was all tinkly and magical!

    It was awesome! My favourite thing would probably be the record things, I can’t remember the name. I never knew that they had things to play music!
