In History, Year 1 have been learning about Victorian kitchens. We discovered that people in Victorian times did not have electricity and had to prepare food in very different ways to today.

We learned that butter was made by hand using a process called churning. To understand this, we made our own butter by shaking cream until it separated. We then drained the buttermilk and were left with fresh butter.

Finally, we spread our butter onto bread and enjoyed a snack that would have been eaten during Victorian times. This helped us understand what life was like in the past.
