If you want to take part in the Victorian class room experience you will need at least two hours, at the museum. The class takes about 45 minutes, and an hour and a half should be enough time to see the remainder of the museum. I hope this helps

The teacher will ask questions, but will choose children(and adults) who put their hand up, to answer the questions. There is no pressure to answer. The teacher explained how we had to sit at our desks; back straight, hands in our laps, no elbows on the table. She then inspected our hands to make sure they were clean. She also talked about discipline and reward. Some of the children were chosen as helpers and gave out slates, pencils or dusters to the rest of the class. Our first lesson was to write out the alphabet by copying from the chalk board, using a pencil on a slate. We then learned about old money; pounds, shillings and pence, the teacher was very authentic, dressed in Victorian clothing, and VERY strict. It was great fun and I hope your daughter will enjoy the experience
