Activity 1: The More, the Merrier? 
In the 1800s, most families were pretty big. In fact, many parents had an average of seven to nine children. Imagine that you were a child in the 1800s and you had nine siblings.
On your blog, please tell us how you would feel. Would you enjoy being a member of such a large family? Why or why not?
If I was in a large family I would feel protected. I would enjoy being a member of such a large family because you have older brothers and sisters and they will always be there for you.
Hey there Sam, my name is Billy and I will also be blogging with you this Summer. I've enjoyed reading your responses to the activities so far. Well done on being so motivated!
ReplyDeleteThat's a clever thought, I didn't think about being protected in a large family. Who or what do you think you would need protection from?
I think I might go a bit hungry with so many mouths to feed!
Do you think you would always get along with your nine brothers and sisters?
Thanks, Billy
Hi sam,
ReplyDeleteI love the way how you said you would love to be in a big family because you feel protected and they will always be there for you I feel the same way because I do come from a big family.
Great Work

ReplyDeleteMy name is Sarah and I go to Glen Innes School
How amazing this work is. Well done.
Hey Samuel,
ReplyDeleteI Would love to have lots of siblings because you can feel protected, also you all can play games together like rugby.
I wouldn't have lots of siblings because sending them to school will be too much money to spend, especially if all of you need a Chromebook.
Good Work
Jerome;)
