Who were the Victorians?
The Victorian age in British history is named after Queen Victoria, who was Britain's queen from 1837 until 1901.

What was life like for Victorian children? There were big differences in homes, schools, toys and entertainments. No TV, no computers, no central heating, no cars (until the last few years of Victoria's reign). No air travel - unless you went up in a balloon! Many children went to work, not to school. Welcome to the Victorian world. It's time to find out how children (your great-great-great-grandparents perhaps!) lived more than a hundred years ago.

Slum children

Many poor children lived in tiny country cottages or in city slums. There was no money for toys, nowhere to play except alleys and yards. Many children had to work, while others were too sick and hungry to play. Yet most poor children still managed to make some fun. They played with whatever they could find, perhaps dancing to the music of a hurdy-gurdy man, paddling in a stream, or climbing trees and lamp-posts.

Crime and punishment

Josh, Robert, Advaith, Kya and Dexter

Punishment 1. Chilly pepper spray= punishers spray horrible, chilly and hot pepper spray in your eyes because you accomplished a crime. Punishment 2. Sending to the armed force= More than 80 years ago, If you were a very bad prisoner and if you don't listen to the police, you get sent to the army, it is a very cruel punishment because by going into war you risk your whole life on fighting.

Punishment 3. Pillar= In the Victorian times, when you go into pillar people are free to throw food and rocks at you by being hit by these objects you can die (if the objects hit your forehead) or get badly injured.

Punishment 4. Fines= Fines are for owed goods that you will exchange to the person that you stole from. If you still have the goods that you stole you'll have to be searched and if you have it you will go to prison and pay it back.

Punishment 5. Stocks= it is when your body gets stopped and your legs, Hands.

Victorian Schooling

Children Were scared of getting sick. Victorian children were usually dressed up like miniature adults. Children would run to meet the hockey pockey man.He sold ice cream from a small hand cart or barrow.

Some poor children  wore second hand boots or shoes nicknamed translators one Victorian  slang word for children was Chavy for parties girls wore red clothes perhaps because little red riding Hood was a favourite nursery story.

Unfortunately,  😔 poor children didn't get to play with China dolls, rocking horses and tea sets like rich children did! Boys 👦played with wooden toy soldiers, rubbish train sets and plastic marbles. Additionally, a cloths peg might be used for a wooden doll or a plank of wood because we can make a toy boat.
