    poor Victorians had a one room house with one bucket as a bath tub and they had to use a towl to have privacy. The children were not as important as adults.

    You would have to go to school at 8:30 and leave at 5:00 and some people starve to death and they had canes to whack people and if you fiddle to much if your hands were skinny enough you have to put your hands through holes for an hour.

    Life in the Victorian era would be terrible if you were not rich. In Victorian times, many families had 10 or more children. Sadly, many children died as babies, or from diseases such as smallpox and diphtheria. Child-death struck rich and poor families.

    In a Victorian town, it was easy to tell who was rich and who was poor. Children from richer homes were well fed, wore warm clothes and had shoes on their feet. They did not work, but went to school or had lessons at home.

    Poor children looked thin and hungry, wore ragged clothes, and some had no shoes. Poor children had to work. They were lucky if they went to school.

  7. it was very tough for Victorian children because they have to carry alot of water which was very heavy and they had to carry that with two hands each for 15 minutes.taking baths for Victorian children was very bad because they had to go last and their family probably done some dirty job like cleaning the chimneys and maybe selling fish so that water would be very dirty.they had to clean their own clothes from the bath too they had to use soap made from coal.overall the children never really had that much power in the family their only job is getting water from the pump.

    I would be a workhouse child because I would get education and get fed every day and I and we would not have to bath last because I would be separated from my family but I would have been sad.

  10. Life is really hard as a Victorian child because when we were going to learn like Victorian children. First of all there is a seperate lines girls go in one line and boys go in the other as you walk into the classroom the teacher tells you where to sit and you have to sit there. Next the people who sit the nicest out of all the boys and girls would be a helper there was a max of three boys and three girls to be a helper. The girls would hand out slates(slates are kind of like blackboards but smaller) and wipers(to clean the slates)also there was a chalk to write with.

  11. Life As A Victorian Child

    Life as a Victorian child isn't easy.I do chores more than learning,my clothes hardly stay together and i'm not that clean. Pa takes the first bath then Ma then big brother then then sister and so on and so on bye the time its my turn the water is freezing and its to dirty to take a clean bath. Brother works in a backer stall, Sister works in a fish stall.Pa works in a factory and Ma stays home and cleans

    I think that being a child in the Victorians would be very hard,you had to do the laundry,ironing,sweeping and lots of other chores.But I think the worst part of being a Victorian child is that you had to wash in very dirty water!

  16. Children our age in the Victorian times wouldn't have lived a normal life that we do. some children couldn't even afford to go to school ,children even had to work long hours to help their families make money.However if children were not going to work they would be doing lots of daily chores like cooking, cleaning, ironing ,washing clothes and many more.

  17. People/ kids would have to wake up early hours and go to work they worked almost nearly 24 hours but children had to do twice as much as that personally I would feel very exhausted and tired like I would collapse to the floor.
