Continued Chimneys high, spilling smoke Worked all day, their families broke Dreams crushed in industrial rhyme Victorian childhood, stolen time.

Another excellent poem by Arianna in 2T1. The classhave been learning about the 'Vile Victorians'. Victorian Childhood by Arianna Victorian kids worked all day Small hands toiled no time for play Lost childhood, harsh and grim In factories, where their hopes grew slim.

Well done to all our S1 Holocaust ambassadors who met with the Provost today to discuss what they have been learning in Humanities. The pupils showcased some of their reflections around the theme of the 'Fragility of Freedom' to commemorate Holocaust Memorial day.

Thanks to former pupils Holly and Aidan for visiting the Humanities faculty today to discuss their experience as Holocaust ambassadors last year. 👍👊👏

No time to play, no time for dreams, their days filled with labour so it seems. Machines withthick air & black smoke  their innocence lost, their spirit broke. Their heart aches for a different fate, to escape from the working state.

A Victorian Poem by Naomi In the factories of old, a Victorian child toils, their tiny hands and weary eyes, wrapped in heavycoils From dusk til dawn their youth slips away, in the harsh world of work industry they are forced to stay.

2T1 have been learning about working conditions for children during the Victorian period in History. Here are some examples of the outstanding work they have produced! 👏

Another great job opportunity!
