This week in History, we have been learning about people who went about changing the atrocious conditions which children were working in during the Victorian era. Both Lord Shaftesbury and Dr. Barnardo vowed to help and support poor children especially those trapped in the workhouses.
Your homework this week is to pick one of these influential figures and write a short explanation as to why they were crucial in changing working conditions for children during the Victorian era.
Remember to check your spellings, grammar and punctuation.
I look forward to reading your work.
Mr. Rizvi
When I went to Turkey I saw a shop called Barnado’s.
Oh really? It must have been the Dr. Barnardo’s charity shop, Miranda.
I like yours to Safa. It’s way better than mine.
In 1833, Lord Shaftesbury proposed that children should work for a maximum of 10 hours a day. In 1842 it was made law that no child under 9 or women should work underground.
I LOVE IT!
YOU’RE FAB!
Dr.Barnardo was very important because he helped lots of poor children. He helped them by giving them a place to live so they don’t die. He made one place for boys to live and one place for girls to live. One day a boy by the name of John Somers died 2 days after the boys home was full. After that sighting, Dr.Barnardo did not let any boys or girls die and let them stay at the home even if they ran out of space. He got the idea thanks to a boy called Jim Jarvis that showed him around the East End and the places where the poor children live.(The boys home name was called Stepney Causeway and the girls home was called Girls Village.)
Dr Barnardo was born in Dublin 1845. When he was 16, he wanted to become a protestant medical missionary in china.
He moved to London to train to be a doctor.He was interested in the lives of poor people, so for boys he made an house/school for them in Stepheney Causeway.One day a boy Jim Jarvis showed him boys living in sewages and he was shocked and
devastated. He also opened a school for girls where they learnt how to sew and become maids for ladies.
Where did you find this?
It is very good with lots of description.
love the work sanna

Dr. Barnardo helped poor Victorian children by making a school for them were they can have an education and a home. He even opened a school for girls. Like the boys, they had a right to an education there to.One day a child called Jim Jarvis took Barnardo to the East End showing him children sleeping under gutters.Looking at the children made him think that he should take them in and give them an education. That’s when he opened the school. One day he turned away a boy called John Somers because the school was already full. Two-days later he was found dead by malnutrition. From that day on they never turned away another child.
He was a remarkable man!
I agree Mr.Rizvi
Dr barnardo was born in 1845in Dublin,Ireland and at the age of 21 he decided to become a doctor in China so he studied in London.

Dr Bernardo was a man who wanted to change the lives of the children in the Victorian era. The reason why he wanted to do that is because the children were getting whipped and may have had their fingers chopped off! He decided to help them by raising some money and using that to build them houses and schools.
One day, While he was walking on the street, he stopped and met a boy called Jim Jarvis. He showed him the way to the East Cliff and when they got there he was shocked. There children were sleeping in gutters.

Wow! I didn’t know that Dr. Barnardo wasn’t technically a Doctor after all. I’m very impressed by this piece of research Aneesa, Dojo point for you!
