What was life like as a Victorian Child? 

Weeks Beginning 28th February 2022

This week in History we will endeavour to answer the small question: 

What was work like as a Victorian Child? 

We will begin exploring this small question by considering the jobs that children in the Victorian era had to endure. We will work in small groups to conduct research, before presenting our findings to our peers. 

We will then be writing a letter as Dr Thomas Barnardo to Queen Victoria to detail the horrendous conditions that children were subjected to.
