As part of our history topic about the Sheffield steel industry, we will be thinking about the Industrial Revolution and how Sheffield grew very quickly in the 19th century. The children will learn about the invention of the Bessemer Converter and how that made it easier to make larger quantities of quality steel.

Linked to this, we would like you to find out about other Victorian inventions for homework this week. We look forward to sharing what you have found out on Friday 19th November.
