Summer 1

This term, our topic is called Full Steam Ahead and we will be learning all about how Preston changed during the Victorian era and the Industrial Revolution. We will explore who Queen Victoria was and why her reign was so important. The children will investigate how Preston grew from a small market town into a busy industrial town by looking at historical maps, photographs and real Victorian censuses. We will also learn about the lives of working-class families and children during this time, including jobs in mills and factories, schooling and daily life. Through exciting history lessons, discussions and creative activities, the children will develop a deeper understanding of how life in Preston has changed over time.
