Experience the Victorian Schoolroom at St. John's House Museum in Warwick. Write on slates, read from the school readers, count on the abacus, practise your marching and much more! A 'Victorian' teacher supplied by Heritage Education, takes the children through elements of a typical school day in 1888; the 3Rs, drill, an object lesson and even vocal gymnastics!
