0:49:50 > 0:49:57.
0:50:03 > 0:50:07# Rise and shine
0:50:07 > 0:50:09# A new day
0:50:09 > 0:50:12- # Time for fun - THEY GIGGLE
0:50:12 > 0:50:14# School today
0:50:14 > 0:50:17# Meet new friends
0:50:17 > 0:50:20# Teachers, too
0:50:20 > 0:50:22# Ding-ding-ding! School bell rings
0:50:22 > 0:50:24# Time for school. #
0:50:27 > 0:50:32Everyone arrives at Lowick School for a very different day.
0:50:33 > 0:50:37That doesn't look like school uniform to me.
0:50:37 > 0:50:39Cor!
0:50:42 > 0:50:45Why is Abby dressed as a maid?!
0:50:46 > 0:50:49And Davy's come as a chimney sweep!
0:50:51 > 0:50:57Look! Can you see? They're all wearing costumes. I wonder why.
0:50:59 > 0:51:02Libby!
0:51:02 > 0:51:06Their teacher, Mrs Fieldhouse, is also dressed up.
0:51:06 > 0:51:09Today is a special day, where everyone pretends
0:51:09 > 0:51:15to be living in the Victorian times, which were over 100 years ago.
0:51:15 > 0:51:20Victorian children should be seen and not heard.
0:51:21 > 0:51:26Sit up straight, back straight. Listening position, hands on knees.
0:51:26 > 0:51:28Right, Victorian schoolteachers
0:51:28 > 0:51:31were entirely different to schoolteachers today.
0:51:31 > 0:51:35Victorian schoolteachers were very stern and very strict.
0:51:35 > 0:51:38Do not get afraid, it is just acting. Do you understand?
0:51:38 > 0:51:42Yes, Libby, remember, it's only make-believe.
0:51:42 > 0:51:44Are we going to give it a jolly good go?
0:51:44 > 0:51:47ALL: Yes. BELL RINGS
0:51:47 > 0:51:52The big bell means that a Victorian lesson is about to begin.
0:51:52 > 0:51:53Enter.
0:51:53 > 0:51:57I wonder how strict this pretend Victorian classroom will be.
0:52:00 > 0:52:03Welcome to my class.
0:52:03 > 0:52:07First, Mrs Strangeways is going to check for clean hands.
0:52:07 > 0:52:10Hands flat on your blackboards.
0:52:12 > 0:52:15When I tap the desk, turn your hands over,
0:52:15 > 0:52:17so I can inspect the other side.
0:52:21 > 0:52:23Beautiful.
0:52:24 > 0:52:27Beautiful. Very clean hands, boys.
0:52:27 > 0:52:29SHE GASPS
0:52:29 > 0:52:32What is this? Hm.
0:52:32 > 0:52:35Mud? it's a good job it's just pretend, Libby.
0:52:35 > 0:52:38Today's lesson is about writing.
0:52:38 > 0:52:43We are going to practise writing on one side of our blackboard
0:52:43 > 0:52:47in lovely, fancy, curly writing.
0:52:47 > 0:52:50Sit up straight in your chair.
0:52:51 > 0:52:56If you do not sit up straight, you will get the board.
0:52:57 > 0:53:02The board is placed behind your back.
0:53:04 > 0:53:07Put down your chalk, please.
0:53:07 > 0:53:11And you put your hands around the board.
0:53:11 > 0:53:15And that makes you sit up straight. With your chin up.
0:53:15 > 0:53:19That looks uncomfortable, Libby. Thank goodness it's only pretend.
0:53:19 > 0:53:24Connor, can you write your name?
0:53:24 > 0:53:26All right.
0:53:26 > 0:53:29Davy, what beautiful writing.
0:53:32 > 0:53:33Right.
0:53:39 > 0:53:43And when you have finished, can you put your chalk down.
0:53:43 > 0:53:49Stand behind your chairs and clean your hands and your table, please.
0:53:49 > 0:53:51BELL RINGS
0:53:53 > 0:53:57The bell is also used to end the lesson.
0:53:57 > 0:54:00Off to your next session.
0:54:06 > 0:54:11In Victorian times, strict exercise was part of the daily routine.
0:54:15 > 0:54:17Eyes front!
0:54:17 > 0:54:19Libby looks ready to go.
0:54:19 > 0:54:22Marching on the spot.
0:54:24 > 0:54:26Keep up, Abby.
0:54:26 > 0:54:29Knees up!
0:54:29 > 0:54:30Halt!
0:54:30 > 0:54:33Arm swings.
0:54:38 > 0:54:40Bend.
0:54:40 > 0:54:41Over one side.
0:54:43 > 0:54:46And over to the other.
0:54:46 > 0:54:48Stand on one leg. Balance.
0:54:48 > 0:54:51Er, without wobbling.
0:54:51 > 0:54:54And the other leg. Balance.
0:54:54 > 0:54:55Balancing can be hard.
0:54:55 > 0:55:00Let's raise our arms as high as we can, towards the sky.
0:55:00 > 0:55:02And wiggle your fingers.
0:55:02 > 0:55:07Get these fingers ready for coming to my school.
0:55:08 > 0:55:10And hands down.
0:55:10 > 0:55:14Touch the ground, turn around.
0:55:14 > 0:55:17Take a bow.
0:55:17 > 0:55:18Off you go.
0:55:18 > 0:55:22Exercise over. Well done, everyone.
0:55:22 > 0:55:24Dismissed.
0:55:28 > 0:55:31Now, the children pretend to be in a Victorian kitchen
0:55:31 > 0:55:35and Mrs Fieldhouse has lots of jobs for everyone.
0:55:35 > 0:55:40Washing was done by hand, as there were no washing machines back then.
0:55:40 > 0:55:44You need to rub it on a washboard, to get it nice and clean
0:55:44 > 0:55:46and get all of the stains out.
0:55:46 > 0:55:48I've done that bit.
0:55:48 > 0:55:51Dirty floors need cleaning, too.
0:55:51 > 0:55:55Get this floor mopped, please.
0:55:55 > 0:55:59Even pretending to be in Victorian times can be hard work.
0:55:59 > 0:56:04Imogen uses this wooden beater to remove dirt from the rug.
0:56:04 > 0:56:09Look! Libby is cleaning and polishing boots with Justice.
0:56:13 > 0:56:20- Dirty hands, now. - I know. We have to do this job.
0:56:20 > 0:56:22Can somebody go and scrub potatoes, please?
0:56:22 > 0:56:27Davy is scrubbing the mud off the potatoes, ready for lunch.
0:56:27 > 0:56:31- What's Abby up to? - She is mixing the dessert.
0:56:31 > 0:56:35It's been made with lemon juice and cream. Yummy!
0:56:35 > 0:56:43And thicker and thicker. And then, you put it into the dish.
0:56:44 > 0:56:48How are those spuds doing, Davy?
0:56:50 > 0:56:52BELL RINGS Well, thank you everybody.
0:56:52 > 0:56:55You have worked very well. The bell has gone.
0:56:55 > 0:56:58Off for some more Victorian fun.
0:57:04 > 0:57:09Look! Callum and his friends have each got a flower.
0:57:09 > 0:57:10I wonder why?
0:57:10 > 0:57:13You are going to be my Victorian artist
0:57:13 > 0:57:18in my very special Victorian artist's studio.
0:57:18 > 0:57:22So, you go and find your space.
0:57:22 > 0:57:27Be studying your flower, look at the shape of the petals.
0:57:27 > 0:57:29Abby's holding a paintbrush.
0:57:29 > 0:57:32And they all have a paint set.
0:57:32 > 0:57:37Oh, they're going to be painting the flowers for Mrs Smith!
0:57:39 > 0:57:41Painting still objects, like flowers,
0:57:41 > 0:57:44was very popular in Victorian times.
0:57:46 > 0:57:48Put plenty of paint on your brush.
0:57:50 > 0:57:53And take your time.
0:57:53 > 0:57:55Look carefully.
0:57:57 > 0:57:59Look at the flower.
0:58:01 > 0:58:04A bit more dark green.
0:58:04 > 0:58:06It's dark green, that.
0:58:12 > 0:58:15Libby, I think you need a bit more paint here,
0:58:15 > 0:58:17just making this lovely and pink.
0:58:17 > 0:58:21What colour is Callum's flower?
0:58:21 > 0:58:22Yellow!
0:58:22 > 0:58:24- Mrs Smith?- Uh-huh?
0:58:24 > 0:58:27- I tried to draw it. - That is fabulous!
0:58:27 > 0:58:32- I did some black on the lower... - Maybe just a tiny bit more yellow.
0:58:35 > 0:58:38Abby is using pink and green paint...
0:58:39 > 0:58:42There's some lovely pink in here.
0:58:42 > 0:58:45Do you want to make it a little bit paler? Try it on your paper.
0:58:45 > 0:58:47..with a touch of blue.
0:58:47 > 0:58:51That is beautiful! BELL RINGS
0:58:51 > 0:58:53If you are ready for break,
0:58:53 > 0:58:58then put your card, very carefully, on the bench at the back.
0:58:58 > 0:59:00Beautiful!
0:59:00 > 0:59:03What pretty paintings everyone has done.
0:59:09 > 0:59:12Get a peg. Get a peg for your partner.
0:59:12 > 0:59:15There were no electronic games in Victorian times,
0:59:15 > 0:59:20so the children will make their own toys with Mrs Edmison.
0:59:20 > 0:59:22- What's Davy making there?- Well done.
0:59:22 > 0:59:27If you want to put a little bit of material on the top, you can do.
0:59:27 > 0:59:29Nice, colourful material, Libby.
0:59:29 > 0:59:31I'm going to make a T-shirt.
0:59:35 > 0:59:38Ah, they're making peg dolls!
0:59:39 > 0:59:45- Do you know what these are called? - Yeah. Like, pipe cleaners.- Yay.
0:59:45 > 0:59:49- I'm making a skirt and T-shirt. - A skirt and a T-shirt.
0:59:49 > 0:59:52Do you think they would have worn skirts and T-shirts?
0:59:52 > 0:59:55- I don't think they would. - They would wear a dress.
0:59:55 > 0:59:58There you go. Draw a face on.
1:00:00 > 1:00:05- Is that too low?- I think that's too low. I think that's very small.
1:00:07 > 1:00:09Right, where's his arms?
1:00:09 > 1:00:12I need to get a bigger T-shirt.
1:00:15 > 1:00:17You've got to be very still, OK?
1:00:17 > 1:00:19Pretty dolls need pretty hair.
1:00:19 > 1:00:21Has she got a face?
1:00:24 > 1:00:26There you go.
1:00:26 > 1:00:30Everyone has really enjoyed pretending to be in Victorian times.
1:00:30 > 1:00:34Now, it's time for a show starring the peg dolls.
1:00:34 > 1:00:37# Da-de-da-da # Da-de-da, da-da-de-da
1:00:37 > 1:00:41- Oh, no! - ALL: Ah!
1:00:44 > 1:00:47- The end.- The end. Well done!
