THANKSGIVING DAY: 4ºESO "We are thankful for..."

Today, our students lerned about the Match Girls' Factory, emblematic of industrial conditions in the 19th century, was a notable establishment that gained attention for its labor practices and the subsequent worker's strike. Located in Bow, London, this factory produced matches, and its workers, predominantly young women and girls, faced harsh working conditions characterized by long hours, low wages, and unhealthy environments. The infamous strike of 1888, led by Annie Besant and the Match Girls' Strike Committee, successfully protested against the exploitative conditions, ultimately securing improved pay and better working conditions for the laborers. The Match Girls' Factory and the subsequent strike played a pivotal role in the broader labor movement, shedding light on the need for workers' rights and influencing subsequent labor reforms in the United Kingdom.

In today's history lesson, we delved into the fascinating life of Napoleon Bonaparte. Our class was captivated by the tale of this extraordinary leader, who emerged from humble beginnings on the island of Corsica. We learned that Napoleon's journey ultimately led him to the grandeur of being crowned Emperor of France. His impact wasn't limited to just his rule; we were amazed to discover the enduring legacy of the Napoleonic Code, a legal system that still influences laws around the world today. 

Students in the 4th ESO A class had a great time during their initial session with Abdou.
