  1. In the first picture it looks like she was a lot of animals and she had a husband(don't know his name). Second picture looks like she is younger than the third picture when she was older.

Queen Victoria was born 24 may 1819 and died 22 January 1901 and was the monarch of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 20 June 1837 until her death. she married her first cousin Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg and Gotha. She became queen when she was 18 and that was because her dad and three elder brothers died.

  4. Hi bloggers i just want to tell you one fact about queen victoria Victoria was the daughter of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, the fourth son of King George III. Both the Duke of Kent and King George III died in 1820, and Victoria was raised under close supervision by her German-born mother Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld.She inherited the throne at the age of 18, after her father's three elder brothers had all died leaving no legitimate, surviving children.

  14. Hello bloggers, in the Victorian days the punishment for children were cruel there were so many I will name some: Back straightener,finger stocks.

    What did they use in their classrooms? In their class rooms they would use:a school slate which was a very unusual to people in the modern days and in fact it has a modern day equivalent which is a whiteboard and whiteboard pen.Also they used this toy named a diabolo which was a very active game which was the best for multi players.


    Thank you.Thank you for reading!

  15. Hey blogges,nice to see the blog again but that is not what i am here about i am here to talk about queen Victoria and how there is a relation between the book street child and Victoria:
    How does the street child book and (queen) Victoria have a relationship?

    One thing that i think is a relation is that their fathers both died when Victoria and the Jarvis children were baby's.

    Where are they from?

    They are both from Victoria (london).

    Thank you for reading.

  19. The Victorians children were taken away from their parents and forced to do hard LABOUR.Also the victorain children who go taken away them their family never went to school and when they are injured they will be replaced by another child.The people who take the children used pins to make the children work faster.THAT IS SO UNCOOL AND NOT FAIR

  22. Did you know thst,during child labour,Many children worked 16 hour days under atrocious conditions, as their elders did. Ineffective parliamentary acts to regulate the work of workhouse children in factories and cotton mills to 12 hours per day had been passed as early as 1802 and 1819.

    Also,when "Short Time Committees" organized largely by Evangelicals began to demand a ten hour day, a royal commission established by the Whig government recommended in 1833 that children aged 11-18 be permitted to work a maximum of twelve hours per day; children 9-11 were allowed to work 8 hour days it was not easy at all.

    I hope you learn from this
    Thank you for reading
