Week 11: What jobs did children do in Victorian times?

Thinking back to our 'Horrible Histories' theatre visit last week, what did you learn about the different jobs that children often had to do?
Powerdown Fortnight continues this week with an assembly presentation and an Energy workshop on Monday. This week is also Friendship Week- how can you be a good friend to others? Special certificates will be handed out during the week to those children demonstrating the value of friendship.
Some children will be taking the Primary Maths Challenge on Tuesday and our Maths team will be competing in the 2nd Round of the Maths Awards at Peterborough.
Friday will be Powerdown Blackout Day... it really will be like going back to Victorian times!

And finally...yes, we will be looking at the playscript for the Christmas Play, so practise your speaking and singing voices ready for the auditions.

I wonder what the christmas play is called... I cant wait till we find out. Children in Victorian times worked in factories, as chimney sweeps and in coal mines opening shutters. Cant wait till Monday.

I am really looking forward to learning the play and I really hope the maths team does well.When we saw the horrible histories play, I thought that the scariest job to do as a child would be the chimney sweeping because if you weren't going quick enough they would light a fire underneath you!
