Look through the PowerPoint below. You are going to be learning about some of the crimes committed during the Victorian era and what punishments were given to those convicted. I would like you to think carefully about why these crimes were committed and whether you think the punishment was fair.

Task 1 - Have a 30cm piece of string. Your task is to separate each strand with only an uncoiled paper clip to help.
Task 2 – Have a piece of scrap paper. Fold it as many times as you can. Once you have it as small as possible, unfold it. Repeat.
Imagine having to do these tasks all day in complete SILENCE!
Activity- Complete the activity below. Can you guess the punishments they would have received for the crimes that they had committed?
