Holdenby House

I am E.S. On 7th of june we went to holdenby house. It took us about 30 minutes to get there. When we arrived we were greeted by a lady and a man. They werent very nice because in victorian times adults let the children do all the work. If the children werent well mannered, they would wack you with a stick. They introduced their selves as mrs Bumbridge, the owner of the house and mr Wret who takes care of all the peasants.

Then another lady came out and said that she was called mrs Crumpit, the head cook. After a while they took us in and gave us all a tag which said our last name and what work we will be doing. I was the bell boy. the bell boy was the 3rd last important person. When someone rings a bell i had to work outwhere the bell was ringing from and tell the hall boy to sent a servant.

Year 5 test!

This week it was year 5 also i think year 4 tests it was incredibly hard for the people who hadn't practice and i think it was the same for the People practising. It was long and i think it took about 45 minutes but i didn't even finish mine i was too busy thinking of what score i was going to get. And we had to study very hard with my teacher facing us as if she knew we were going to cheat or start chatting!

The week of doom

This week has been a really hard test week, but its paid off I got a really good score. I'm glad it's over now though. There was 7 tests, in maths we used a calculator on the other we didn't. After that we did a mental maths test. We also did English tests: one long writing test, a short writing test and a reading test.

holdenby house

Wow i didnt know that adults were so strict in the victorian times you cant even look at them you have to look at the neck of the person in front of you and i had to sweep the floor and my back was really painful. The characters were Mrs Bumbridge, Mrs Crumpet and Mr Ret. In the kitchen we had to make rhurbarb pie and jam tarts. Then, when we came back to school we got a piece of jam tart and a piece of bread that we made. Also, they gave us a goodie bag, in the goodie bag there was a pencil and a notepad. It was a really fun day and i really enjoyed it, it was a day to remember.

Holdenby House

On Monday 7th/6 we went to a place called Holdenby House its a old Victorian House where the Victorians used to live. It was really cool we had to dress up in Victorian dresses and costumes we went by coach and there was this mean lady called Mrs.Bumbridge and she wore black.Then, there was a man called Mr.Rhett they was mean. After that, there was Mrs.Crumpet she was the cook who was in charge of the kitchen.

We had to do everything for them (chores) but it was good then Mrs.Bumbridge gave us a tour around the house and showed us what maid we were and our jobs. Also when we went to the kitchen we had to have this disgusting drink called ''Purge'' we had to be purged to take out our flu and germs.

After, we went to have lunch and we got to have a photo in the garden and then we got to see the owner of the house Lady Annaly she always wore a black veil because she had blood patches on her face and she didn't want anyone to stare at her. Finally, we got told EVERYTHING was fake!! And Lady Annaly was Miss.Clowes and Mrs.Bumbridge was a kind lady and so were the other people.

We had a brilliant time and I would like to go there again if I could
