The Victorians

After our Victorian Day out, the children were so enthusiastic about studying the Victorians and so far we are all enjoying it thoroughly.
We watched this DVD about Queen Victoria in her early years.
Charles Dickens was a Victorian author and many of his books give a great insight into what it was like living in the Victorian times. Eden is reading this Classic Starts version.
And I found this easier one to read to Jude and Ciara.
We also have the story on audio cd for the car. It's a great story which we have all enjoyed so far.

The children all love this humorous history series of books, this was a good one for showing the conditions inside a Victorian factory.


This is also another history series which the girls love reading, they have enjoyed reading these two about the Victorians.
