Our story began early one morning in one of the dormitories in Morda workhouse......The sunlight came through the window, which meant that the children had woken up too late for breakfast! How could this have happened? How were they going to sneak into the dinner hall without being spotted? This could be awful....what punishment would we get? Oh no is this the master of the workhouse! We must stay quiet...we can't get caught....! Phew, we made it to the dining hall without getting caught. But, who will be the first to go up to the cook to get their gruel? While we were eating our gruel, the master of the workhouse appeared. We were so scared that he knew we were late for breakfast. Then we noticed one of the children going up to the master....what was he doing? What was he thinking? He can't be asking for more gruel?! Oh no he is! The master was not impressed and he asked his wife what punishment they should get. She said he was to have no bread and cheese for the rest of the week! Once we had eaten our gruel, it was time to go to the workhouse classroom, where our teacher Elizabeth Hughes was waiting for us. As we walked in, we stood by our tables, then said the Lords prayer. It was arithmetic today, some of the children didn't answer their question quick enough and was made to stand up. At least their punishment wasn't too bad! Observational artWe are studying the work of Georgia O'Keeffe. To practice using sketching pencils, we looked in detail at some flowers and made some observational drawings.
