Let’s find out what a school day was like for a child in Victorian times! Make sure you are on your best behaviour as we join the Ulster American Folk Park team on a visit to Castletown National School to meet the School Master, Mr Mulligan. Handle museum artefacts used in the Victorian Schoolroom and compare and contrast your school with Castletown. Pay attention as Mr Mulligan tells you how he expects his pupils to behave in his classroom and discover how pupils had to master the ‘three R’s’.
