The focus for our inter-disciplinary learning this week will be childhood during the Victorian era, specifically the lives of those less fortunate, namely,  child chimney sweeps.

1. Listen to BBC School radio, I’ve attached a link of a radio drama set in Victorian London. Your first activity is to listen to parts 1 & 2 (Climbing Boys & The Grand London House). https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/school-radio/history-chimney-sweeps/z6k9bdm
2. Read the detail about working children in the link here. http://www.primaryhomeworkhelp.co.uk/victorians/children/working.htm#:~:text=Chimney%20sweeping%20was%20a%20job,with%20bleeding%20elbows%20and%20knees.&text=Some%20boys%20got%20stuck%20and%20died%20of%20suffocation.
