In our History lesson this week we will be looking at the Georgian time period (around the time of Highway men like Dick Turpin). We will be comparing the lives of the rich people at that time and the poor.
We will learn how different their lives were and some of us may be able to empathise with why some poor people turned to a life of crime as a way of raising money and food for their families.
Here is a useful link to a page all about the Georgians:

Also, here is a great video showing some of the differences between rich and poor Georgians. (You could take some notes and bring them to school this week - I would be very impressed)
