Jingle Bell Rock

Lyrics:

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun.

Jingle bell (x3)

rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle bell Square
In the frosty air.

What a bright time, its the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh.

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell (x3)

Life in Victorian Times

One of the most famous stories of Victorian Times is Oliver Twist, the story of a young boy with no money and no family in the 19th century. It was written by Charles Dickens.

Lots of films have been made about Oliver Twist. This one was shot in 1933!

Queen Victoria reigned from 1937 to 1901. During that time, new inventions allowed the Victorians to develop railways and maritime transport and to build lots of factories. It was the Industrial Revolution.

During her reign, the British Empire was the largest empire in the world.

People left the country to work in big cities.

London, 18^th November 2012

Dear Sam,

I had a great time in London! On Saturday morning, I went to visit the British Museum. It's free and it's really interesting. I saw lots of dinosaurs. You know I love Prehistoric animals! I really liked the exhibition on the Renaissance too. The Museum is enormous and at lunch time I was really tired. I didn't go the the Victoria and Albert Museum because I didn't have time.

I had a picnic in Hyde Park. I saw squirrels! They were so cute!

In the afternoon I went to the London Dungeon! That was so scary! London is really a cool city. In the evening, I didn't cook, I went to an American Burger restaurant. The food wad delicious and the burger was enormous! Breakfast on Sunday was really good too!

I didn't see everything in London. There are lots of attractions! I decided to go on the London Eye. Wow! I took some picture for you to see.

See you soon.

Love,

Cindy

Madame Tussauds  is a wax museum in London with branches in a number of major cities, like Las Vegas, New York, Hollywood, Sydney, Berlin, Amsterdam, Shangai, Tokyo and Hong Kong.

It was founded by wax sculptor Marie Tussaud and was formerly known as "Madame Tussaud's", but the apostrophe is no longer used.

 Madame Tussauds is a major tourist attraction in London, displaying waxworks of historical and royal figures, film stars, sports stars and infamous murderers.

History

Marie Tussaud, was born as Anna Maria Grosholtz (1761–1850) in Strasbourg, France. Her mother worked as a housekeeper for Dr. Philippe Curtius in Bern, Switzerland, who was a physician skilled in wax modelling. Curtius taught Tussaud the art of wax modelling.

Tussaud created her first wax figure, of Voltaire, in 1777. Other famous people she modelled at that time include Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Benjamin Franklin.

During the French Revolution she modelled many prominent victims. In her memoirs she claims that she would search through corpses to find the decapitated heads of executed citizens, from which she would make death masks. Her death masks were held up as revolutionary flags and paraded through the streets of Paris. When the doctor died in 1794, she inherited his vast collection of wax models and spent the next 33 years travelling around Europe.
She married François Tussaud in 1795 and called the show: Madame Tussaud's.
In 1802, she went to London to exhibit her work.
As a result of the Franco-British war, she was unable to return to France, so she travelled throughout Great Britain and Ireland exhibiting her collection.
By 1835 Marie had settled down in Baker Street, London, and opened a museum.

One of the main attractions of her museum was the Chamber of Horrors. This part of the exhibition included victims of the French Revolution and newly created figures of murderers and other criminals.
