Hello bloggers, I am going going to answer miss Williams question that she put up here I go:Yes in the Victorian days young children were forced to work even at the age of 6.But the question is what did they work as and who for?In the Victorian times children would either sell their parents food or do different kid of low engineering with their siblings. Thats all I have for today.

  9. Hey bloggers it's Sashay. That the shameful practice of child labor should have played an important role in the Industrial Revolution from its outset is not to be wondered at. The displaced working classes, from the seventeenth century on, took it for granted that a family would not be able to support itself if the children were not employed. Bye bloggers I hope you enjoyed the imfomation.

  10. Hi bloggers, today in class we were enjoying ourselves doing games but it was not just any king of games that everyone plays with out questions this one is about queen Victoria. It was different kinds of themes like crossword, monopoly and snake and the ladder it was so much fun. My group did monopoly and me named it Vicky-mono short for Victorian monopoly we did not get to finish but you would see pictures of it when we finish and miss Williams puts it on the blog. It was not just a games we had different kinds of questions like: When was queen Victoria born?, what date did she die? but basically the whole class had different questions as well.

    I cant wait until miss williams puts them up

    Thank you for reading

  13. In Victorian times young aged children would work as chimney sweeps also coal miners, those kids would normaly would work for at least 12 hours a day don't you think that is extremly cruel some children would even be put into workhouses which were the worst of all.The conditions were horrible they had to sleep in dirt and would have to wear no shoes to wear and they would walk in what ever is on the ground.

    1. Actually, the first cars appeared during the Victorian times, but only rich people could afford them.

      Early car drivers were required to have a special attendant walking in front of the car, holding a red flag as a warning.

  15. Hi people. The difference is that the cars are actually carriages when people use to use in Victorian times. In the future we have electric cars and also buses.

  17. Hi people. In the Victorian times for the boys they didn't like the jobs they did ex-specially chimney cleaning most of them got stuck and died in the chimney. I think children shouldn't be treated that way because i REALLY FEEL SORRY FOR THEM AND IT JUST MAKES YOU WANT TO CRYYYYY!

  20. Queen Victoria has a very interesting story, like how she married her first cousin and how her father died before her grandfather died.did you you know that she had a African goddaughter called Sara Forbes Bonetta. She was a orphan at the age of eight, Victoria was impressed because of her intelligence and respect.Sara is now her goddaughter,she married Captain Davies and they were happy together.
