The Framers Forum

My son informed me this morning that his homework (to be in Wednesday) was to write about something the Victorians celebrated that we currently do not.

I came up with differences in the way we celebrate things and things we celebrate that the Victorians did not, such as Halloween but I just can't think of anything.

I hate primary school homework!

Any help with my 9year old's homework would be welcome.

Queen Victoria's birthday!

British manufacturing and industry

In Victorian times Monday was a saints day and many people didn't work on a Monday, so i guess you could say that Mondays were celebrated.

Oh oh, what about Empire day? Something we wouldn't celebrate today, basically because there is no 'Empire'.

Hope that helps.

Trafalgar Day was started in 1896 but became less prevelent after 1918 and the end of WW1.

A font of knowledge!

I will put them all to him this afternoon and then (try) to get him to research them and write something up.

I don't remember having this much homework at 9

Thank you everyone!

I know my 6 year old had to do a historical piece about London major events, great fire of london etc. He found the great beer flood of 1814 very funny
