Victorian sculptures in Gateshead


Today we went to Gateshead to find Victorian sculptures. First we went to the old town hall. That had Victoria on the roof (with a seagull on her head).I directed mummy there with a map but I had her to help. It was on West St, Gateshead.




The other one was on the wall, a model of a Victorian bakery. That was on Carlisle Street, Gateshead. It looked really realistic.

Studying Victorians

At the moment, I am studying Victorians as part of my home schooling. I will start school again when we move to America.
I am interested in Victorians because I think that was the time when a lot of things changed. For example, Christmas cards were introduced and steam trains were made and children started to be able to go to school even if they were poor.
At the moment I am doing my research on the internet. I have found two really helpful websites. I am writing my information on word or in a blue note book.

I want to write a Victorian diary with recipes, record an interview with me as the Victorian child and map statues of Queen Victoria from all over Newcastle
