The Industrial Revolution -What was life like?
Posted on September 17, 2023 | By hmorrisonwoolsery
In Stroxworthy Class this week, we nave been exploring what life was like during the Industrial Revolution. We tried out the following;
- Polish your shoes (shoe polish, brushes, cloths).
- Work out what some strange Victorian inventions are (pictures of inventions).
- Make a string telephone and try to communicate with someone (string, plastic cups).
- Read a bit of Dickens and wonder at the unusual language used.
- Create and build bridges (straws, string, tape, paper clips).
- Design your own invention
We also watched the opening ceremony from the 2012 Olympics which featured the story of the Industrial Revolution.
