We went on a school trip to St. John’s museum in Warwick. We got to dress up as Victorians and have  a lesson in a Victorian classroom. I had to write on a slate with chalk with my right hand as children were not allowed to be left handed in Victorian times! We had to march outside in our Victorian school uniforms to get our daily exercise. We got to dress up as Victorian soldiers too. I liked the mangle and really wanted to try it out. My Nanny Barnes used to use a mangle to do her washing!

I tried out a beautiful Victorian parasol and necklace.

We found this cool model of the colosseum.

Mummy took me to see the Florence Nightingale museum today in London. It was really good as there were lots of little spy holes to look into and see pictures about her.  There were headphones to listen to. There were lots of things to read.  I learned loads about Florence Nightingale and I especially liked that she used to collect stones, flowers, snake skins and other little bits of interest just like me! Here is a picture of her famous lamp and me drawing it.
