At the end of our topic on Victorian childhood, Upper School wrote diaries as if they were a Victorian child in Inskip. Our 'Decade corridor exhibition' was extremely useful in providing us with real events that happened to children in Inskip during the Victorian times. Several wrote about the little boy who "got hurt by being kicked by a horse on his way home from school," on August 11th 1870. Some mentioned the role of two boys who had to keep the fire stoked in the schoolroom, or about the school being one classroom housing seventy six pupils of mixed ages (1847). Upper School found this very interesting and have enjoyed finding out the differences between schools then and now.
