In this unit children investigate some of the ways their local area changed during the Victorian era, and some of the reasons for those changes. Children use the local area to explore characteristic features of Victorian times, how the area changed over time and the reasons for and results of these changes. Children develop their sense of chronology, and ask and answer questions, from buildings and other information sources.
