Year 5’ s Victorian day.

In year 5 on the 26.2.13 we all came to school expecting it to be a normal day but we were split up into boys and girls. Girls were put into squirrel's class and boy’s were put into Bears. We all had to choose ourselves a Victorian name here are some examples of the names : Charlotte, William, Phoebe, Hereto, Phoebe and lots more. Then we were taken to one of the new rooms the walls, were covered in black paper it was SOOO dark our first lesson was handwriting. It was very difficult because we had to copy the writing exactly, that was very hard.

=**Street Child**=

Street child is a term for a child experiencing homelessness and who primarily resides in the streets of a city (typically in a developing country). The exact definition of a street child is debatable due to the lack of precise categories. The term has largely been used in reference to children who live entirely in public spaces, without adult supervision or care. Street children are often subject to abuse, neglect, exploitation, or, in extreme cases, murder by "clean-up squads" that have been hired by local businesses or police. In Western societies, such children are commonly treated as homeless children, rather than criminals or solicitors.
