The Victorians

"The Victorian era of the United Kingdom was the period of Queen's Victoria reign from June 1837 until her death on the 22nd of January 1901. The reign was a long period of prosperity for the British People, as profits gained from the overseas British Empire, as well as from industrial improvements at home, allowed an educated Midlle Class to develop. Victorian Britain, like the periods before it, was interested in theatre and the arts, and music, drama, and opera were widely attended. The Victorian era became notorious for the employment of young children in factories and mines and as chemney sweepers. Child labour, often brought about by economic hardship, played an important role in the Industrial Revolution from its outset" In Wikipedia

A Lara esta' a estudar a Era Victoriana e, como tal, eu tambe'm. Se eu ja' nao sabia muita coisa acerca dos reinados de Portugal imaginem acerca da Rainha Victoria... E' como voltar a escola outra vez - toca a pesquisar...

Hoje a Lara teve a Assembleia dela (uma especie de rendez vous de toda as classes e profs no ginasio, todas as semanas, para reflectir, planear, mostrar o que se esta a aprender e entregar louvores a alunos). Hoje a classe dela fez um teatro acerca dos Victorians seguido de uma visita a um museum victoriano. Para que a aprendizagem seja levada a outro nivel as criancas iam elas proprias viver uma tarde Victoriana...Numa escola Victoriana. Pediram aos pais para elas irem vestidas a rigor. Aqui esta' a versao Victoriana da Lara.
