Year 4 enjoyed a fantastic educational visit to Kensington Palace, where they stepped back in time to explore the rich history of the British monarchy.
Through engaging workshops led by costumed historical characters, pupils discovered how Queen Victoria rose from fifth in line to the throne to become one of Britain’s most influential monarchs. They examined historical artefacts, journals and paintings, learning about Victoria’s childhood and her preparation for queenship.
The children also travelled through centuries of royal history, exploring the changing role and power of monarchs from Charles I to Queen Victoria. This helped deepen their understanding of monarchy, succession and the evolving relationship between the Crown and Parliament.
The visit brought history vividly to life through role-play, discussion and hands-on learning, making it a truly memorable experience for all.
