    She was good as a queen because she designed and had the idea of trains and also she had been queen for the longest time.

  3. Aimee-Rose Grover

    Dronze:
    Queen Victoria is very royal,nice and special because she is a queen and she has visited Ireland and India.

    Silver:
    I can’t remember but I think it is primary because she is rich.

    Gold:
    This is primary primary sources. This makes more reliables .

  4. Muhammed Ali

    Rich and has a lot of jewels around her.
    Her crown is small because she was queen in an early age.

    Queen victorya was a very larg lady because she is a queen so she could get lots of food.she wars lots of jewellery

  6. Denis Gabrans

    Bronze. She is quite large because being a queen ment that she would have food to eat and ever Victorians didn’t get that much to eat

  7. Ahmed Mustafa

    Bronze:
    The Victorian age is named after her because she reigned for a long period.
    She is strict because she is powerful. She ruled a vast empire for more than 60 years. She was one of the famous queen and she had 9 children.

  8. Ridwan Said

    Bronze:she is very ugly and angry all the time,she looks powerful ,has black clothes all time and rude to people and children.

  9. Rumaysa Yasin

    Queen Victoria made good decisions for her ruling. One of her rules was that “children couldn’t work until they were ten years old” That was good because they could learn before going to work. And they wouldn’t have to stress about going work. Queen Victoria was also queen for a large empire. I can tell she was rich because she is wearing real gold and silver jewellery.

  10. Mariam Hassankhail

    Qween Victoria was moody because she was not smiling at all and she had lots of jewellers on that made her be this pictures tell me that she didn’t help other people and she didn’t have any children this told me she was old this is a primary source because from the picture it told me she was big and so tall she was a very disrespectful lady who was not polite to young children queen Victoria was queen when she was 80

  11. Theo Davies-Reid

    Silver

    I know it is secondary because they were taken before.That she was a good a queen and that she got involved with politics.Also that she became queen when she was just 18 and that is a big achievement.

    Gold

    They are secondary and it makes them less reliable because I don’t know if there true or not. She was quiet moody and serious but she was a very good queen.

  12. Matthew Pearson

    Gold:
    The pictures are primary sources. These are reliable because someone has painted her almost exactly what she would look like in person. Queen Victoria was a very successful queen and she was very powerful. She also made the industrial revolution but this disapproved my view on Queen Victoria. In a way that I thought she wasn’t that much of a powerful queen and lasted at least 35 years.

  13. Yussuf Sahily

    Bronze challenge
    Queen Victoriaโ€™s lifestyle was rich because she had paintings for about millions of shillings.She had 8 or more assassinationโ€™s in her whole lifetime because the people hated of what her speech was to make the world a better place for others.

    Silver challenge
    When people wanted to go to school she made that as a rule applied by the governess that is a secondary source of her life.The primary source is that children that were poor they went schools but little kids went Sunday schools and Rich people were thought at home because they had big bungalows in there home style.

    Gold challenge
    I think that pictures on the Broad Heath primacy school were primary source.#QUEEN VICTORIOUS WAS A HONORIBLE QUEEN AT THE PAST TIME.The fun fact Queen Victoria kids went and joined other Royal families in the world that how world war 2 was very crazy and rude thatโ€™s weird because why will Queen Victoria do that to her kids

  14. Levi Smith

    This is ap primary source of information because it was took at the time

  15. Levi Smith

    Queen Victoria was a proud queen and a nice queen because she made school free for all children moody and serious because of her facial expressions

  16. Bethany Macho

    Gold
    The picture is a primary object because it was taken at that time.This makes it more reliable because it shows you how she looked then and it is more likely to be true.In my opinion Queen Victoria was a very good queen because she didnt mind learning new things as she travelled to many different countries and enjoyed learning languages.She also cared about the country as she gave out Christmas cards to the public.This disproves what I thought from the picture because she looks miserable and strict.

  17. Abdirahman Mussa Farah

    Bronze Challenge
    In the images, Queen Victoria is wearing jewellery made in the Victorian era, also she wearing crown indicating she is a queen.
    Silver challenge
    This a primary source because it was taken at the time.

  18. Humair Umar

    Queen Victoria is a faumous queen she had a lot of empires and she ruled some country’s and she was very nice she had a lot of servants.

  19. Murtaza Ali

    Silver:This piece of information is secondary because it has been posted after the time of the Victorian era.They tell you about her birth,death,reign and her life.Here’s some info on Queen Victoria,she was born on 24 May 1819 and became queen was she was only 18.This means she started the Victorian era by changing the lives of many.She reigned for 60 years and the Victorian era ended in 1901.She was a very fair queen as she had the ‘Under 10 Mines Act’,where children under 10 were not allowed to work in the mines underground and she was very respectful for Albert because she wore black for kind of the rest of her life when Albert died.This information supports my thoughts because on first looks,she looked quite selfish,when she actually had a great impact on the lives of many adults and children.

  20. Martyna Pawlewicz

    Bronze:
    Queen Victoria was a really kind Queen.She is also one of the most famouse queens in the history.Queen Victoria had a really large Empire.She ruled some of North America and some of Africa.She reigned for a really long time.Queen Victoria started to rule when she was only 18 years old.In the picture she looks like she is not nice but she was really nice to everyone in the world.
