Victorian Times! By Tiana and Annabel!

Victorian homes! In the Victorian times they didn’t have any electricity like modern times. Victorian houses often have chimneys because of in lots of rooms there were fireplaces. Poor families don’t have a bathroom but they have a toilet outside. Poor people also have a tin bath when they needed it they would take it outside every week to wash. The poor house were dirty! The father was the leader of the house.

School times! School weren't free until 1891 until then parents had to pay for there children's to go to school. In lesson time children practised there hand writing on slates, when they were good enough they could write with an ink pen with a piece of paper.

Victorian clothes! Children often dress in a mini version of their mother or father. Women often wear shawls. Poor families would wear rags and cloths.

Toys! All poor families made their own toys like cloth peg dolls and paper windmills. Children saved their pocket money. All toys were made of wood and then painted.

Transport! 1825 the 1st passager railway was opened. Queen Victoria was the 1st royal to ride a train.

Work! Most poor children had to work in chimneys and in factors and in house and down the mines as well. Poor women had to wake up at 4.00am to set the boiler. Ready for wash day.
