Well class 4, You have been amazing this week. We have been busy with such a wide variety of lessons and activities.
In History, we learnt all about the Factories Act of 1833 and how the lives of working children changes from the terrible conditions of earlier to the slightly less terrible. Here a few highlights:
The Factory Act of 1833
1) No child workers under nine years of age.
2) Employers must have an age certificate for their child workers.
3) Children of 9-13 years to work no more than nine hours a day.
4) Children of 13-18 years to work no more than 12 hours a day.
5) Children are not to work at night.
6) Two hours schooling each day for children.
7) Four factory inspectors appointed to enforce the law. (in the whole of Britain!)
I have to sing all of your praises for yesterday. You made us all very proud of you. Your co-operation, incredible hard work and team work, not to mention your giggles and laughter, absolutely made our day yesterday. The garden looks completely amazing. You used the tools safely and sensible and helped and supported each other with such enthusiasm, it was totally wonderful to be part of. THANK YOU!
I am failing at the moment to get the tablet to turn on and post some photos. I will try and get some before and after ones blogged when it starts to work!
WELL DONE!
Have a fantastic weekend, keep safe in the sun and the heat that is expected and we shall hopefully see you all next week.
