Church charities were more alert to the problems of girls on the streets than they were of boys, so they might well have been taken in to an existing Home and possibly put into service when they were older. Later, Barnardo found a way of including girls in his Homes. Otherwise, I think it may have been the workhouse for them. In Far From Home I try to imagine what might have happened to Emily and Lizzie.

I have read this book in class and my teacher said I have to write a character analysis of Jim from street child !! I stopped reading about workhouses and orphanages long ago. They always give me the creeps. I always feel like giving up but honestly, I've never given up on such books. So I read it. And I finished it. Overall, I liked the book. Even though it gave me the creeps. But it still doesn't make it to my favourites shelf because it gives me the creeps. I work in class E2 in a Christian school in Cleveon near Bristol and we did homework, guided reading and other activities related to it as we were studding victorians

A vivid and moving imagining of the real-life encounter between Dr Barnardo and Jim Jarvis. It has both emotional and educational value. After the meal the man with the hanging head gave Jim a blanket and showed him a room full of shelves and long boxes where all the boys slept.’ P42. http://shop.scholastic.co.uk/search/search?search[query]=street+child&log=t&age_type=age_range&now=query&search[department_id]=&x=0&y=0The story ends well with Jim being found by Dr Barnardo who sets up homes for boys and later girls like Jim. Barnardos still does great work with children today. I thought this was a good book as so many different things happen to the main character and you are willing him to find a kind person who will look after him. It reminds children about hardship and how difficult life can be. Your year 5/6 class will be asked a range of questions focusing on retrieval, vocabulary and inference.
