These activities were used with a Y4/5 class during their topic on Victorians. The idea is that the children read accounts from children living during the Victorian period and they compare their experiences to work out if they were from a Rich or Poor background. We used this as a stepping stone towards the children writing a diary from the point of view of either a rich or poor child in the Victorian times.
Downloads include:
- presentation (pictures gathered from Google images)
- Statements from poor or rich children
- A sheet for recording main similarities and differences
- A Victorian Dictionary - outline key words linked to poor or rich families in Victorian times

I made this Powerpoint for World Book Day but it can be used at any point throughout the year to promote reading in school. It contains a quiz between the adults and the pupils / children Vs families. I asked the SLT to sit at the front behind a table and the rest of the school played against them. The quiz involves guessing characters, guess book from the one liners and even includes a tie breaker. Parents were invited and it was a real success.

I adapted each of Samuel Pepys’ original diary entries (plus one of John Evelyn’s) into writing that my students would be able to understand and used them for whole class reading lessons.
There is a diary entry plus literal & inference questions for each of the following dates:
Sunday 2nd September 1666
Monday 3rd September 1666
Tuesday 4th September 1666
Wednesday 5th September 1666
Thursday 6th September 1666
Please note that although I have adapted the diary entries, they are still somewhat difficult to read because I kept as true to the original as I could. My high attaining Year 2 class was able to understand each of the entries and answer the literal and inference questions but my lower attaining students struggled.

The aim of this lesson is to understand why children were evacuated to the countryside.
However, it also questions the success of evacuation through government propaganda, audio records of evacuees and from written sources of evidence.
Students are led through the evacuation process, which on the surface looks amazingly planned and executed by the British Government.
But, using primary evidence of the time, they realise how the Government failed to prioritise the needs of the children over the need to evacuate large numbers.
Students will also learn how other vulnerable groups in society were also evacuated without due consideration of their needs.
By the end of the lesson the students will evaluate the biggest problems faced by the children and learn some sad facts about the reality of war on the Home Front.
The lesson is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited at the end to show the progress of learning.
The resource includes retrieval practice activities, suggested teaching strategies and differentiated materials and comes in Powerpoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change.
