For your homework this weekend we would like you to create your own profile of a Victorian child.

You can make up the child but base it on what you know about Victorian children. 

Draw a picture of your Victorian child. 

Write facts about the child such as: where they live, what their home is like, what they do in their spare time, whether they go to school or to work, what their daily life is like and any other things you could say about them. 

 

Extension: Can you write a diary entry from the point of view of your Victorian child? 

 

Maths is on Mathletics. I have printed out Mathletics passwords if you need to check it on Monday.  

 

This month we are learning the Hail Mary in Welsh. Please have a read over at home and try to learn the prayer. 

 

Henffych well, Fair,

gyflawn o ras y mae'r Argwyldd gyda thi.

Bendigedig wyt Ti ymhlith merched, 

a bendigedig yw ffrwyth dy groth di, Iesu.

Sanctaidd Fair, Fam Duw,

gweddia drosom ni bechaduriaid,

yn awr hon ac yn awr ein hangau.

 

Amen
