This term in Year 4 we have been focusing on the Victorians. To learn more about the methods of transportation used during the Victorian era, we visited the London Transport Museum. We were able to explore a restored Victorian omnibus, a tram, a steam train and a horse's carriage.
The interactive activities deepened our understanding of how the Victorians got around and who in society, could and could not afford them.
One surprise was finding out that rich Victorians were able to get a 'sedan chair' taxi around London. This was a real luxury - perhaps an 'Uber Lux' would be our modern day equivalent?
