Hetty Feather on CBBCHetty Feather is a brand new ten-part series from CBBC based on the best-selling book by Jaqueline Wilson. Set in London in 1887, the series centres around the story of our indomitable heroine Hetty Feather as she is returned to the awe-inspiring institution of the Foundling Hospital, the place where she was deposited as an infant and which she is to now call home.As fiery and feisty as her bright red hair, as she grows up, 12 year-old Hetty doesn’t take her change of circumstance lying down. Hetty Feather is a fighter and she fights her new regime, headed up by gravel-voiced, Dickensian villain Matron Bottomly, every inch of the way. With a sparkle of mischief and a fair share of intelligence, a twinkle of anarchy and a slice of invention, Hetty soon learns how to survive. Aided and abetted by the greatest tool she possesses, Hetty relies on her vivid imagination to get her through.

These activities are designed to give students some background information on the character of Hetty by helping them imagine what it would have been like to live in Victorian times for a child such as Hetty.

Activity one:Students should research into the following topics and then present back to the class:- What were Victorian England schools like?- What kinds of jobs did the poorer Victorian women do? - What was the Foundling Hospital and what was it like to live there?- What was life like for a poor Victorian child?

Activity two:In these extracts from the opening of Hetty Feather, baby Hetty arrives at the Foundling Hospital where she is left by her mother. She is then sent to a foster family in the countryside along with another Foundling baby

My mother and I stood in front of a long polished table where a line of solemn men sat and asked questions. My mother answered, while I whimpered dolefully. Then we were led to a little room with a bright gaslight overhead. I blinked and tried to burrow into my mother’s breast, but large cold hands snatched me away from her. Page 4

I was laid on my back on a hard table. My shawl was tugged away. My beautiful white dress was unbuttoned and taken from me. Both my petticoats were pulled over my head. They even removed my napkin so I was lying there stark naked. The hard hands turned my head from side to side, prodded my belly, moved my arms and legs about while I protested vigorously, screaming my head off. Page 4

… before long I was given yet another name. I was dressed in a gown so stiff with starch I was stretched out rigidly, scarcely able to draw breath. I was carried to a new place, vast and echoing, with strange windows that played patterns of red and blue on the stone floor. There was solemn talk and then a voice addressed me. ‘I christen you Hetty Feather,’ he said, and sprinkled icy water on my forehead. Page 7-8

When we lived in the huge bleak building we had always been fed every few hours and our napkins changed. I was now wet and sore, my shawl damp and reeking. So we cried and cried, and then slept some more out of sheer exhaustion – and then the train slowed and stopped. The door opened and we were swung out into the fresh air. Our carrier stamped his feet and marched forwards. There was a clamour of voices with a softer country burr. The basket rocked as hands reached in, lifting out my baby neighbour. ‘This here is Master Gideon Smeed, fresh from the Foundling Hospital!’ I heard laughing and cooing and clapping. Page 11

Lead in Questions:

1. What do we learn about life in Victorian London from the extracts?2. What words or moments in the extracts stand out to you and why?3. What is instantly different about life in the countryside?

Language analysis:

Look closely at the different verbs used in the extracts such as ‘marched’ and ‘snatched’. What do they reveal about the attitude towards Foundling Hospital babies?

Hetty and Gideon

Lesson Objective: to understand the main characters in Jacqueline Wilson’s Hetty Feather. Lesson Outcome: a detailed character profile for Hetty and Gideon.

Soon after arriving at the Foundling Hospital, Hetty is sent to the countryside to live with a foster family. But she isn’t alone. The Foundling Hospital also sends a baby boy named Gideon who travels in the same basket as baby Hetty to their new family. Quiet and meek, Gideon is very different to the fiery red haired baby Hetty. However they form a strong bond with Hetty affectionately naming him her ‘basket brother’.

Activity one

In this short extract (pages 10-11) Hetty meets Gideon for the first time:

The cab door opened again. I heard an infant wail, so sad, so scared. My mouth was shut so it couldn’t be me. The cries grew frantic as another child was crammed into the basket beside me. I let out a little wail myself and the other crying stopped in surprise. Then it started up again and I started too. We drew breath at the same time so we were crying in unison. Then I stopped and the other babe stopped too. It was as if we were talking to each other. Hello! I’m here too. I’m just as anxious as you are. Where are they taking us? I don’t know. I want them to take me back to my mother. I want mine too! Well, at least we have each other. Our hands were trapped in our woollen shawls, but it was as if we were reaching out and clasping each other.

The cab jerked and the horses’ hooves clacked and I remembered my own mother so painfully. Then we stopped and the door opened, and my fellow basket baby and I blinked in the sudden light. Someone took us up out of the cab, swinging us along into a vast, roaring, smoky hall. This brought back memories too. I now know that we were at a vast London station. Soon we were stowed in our basket upon a seat and the train jerked into motion. The other baby and I cried lustily, but the steady chug and whir of the wheels beneath us grew soothing and soon we both slept.

I dreamed that I was back in my mother’s arms, but when I woke I was still trussed up in the shawl and stuffed in the basket, and the baby next to me was wailing forlornly. I cried too because I was hungry and thirsty, my stomach empty and aching. The baby beside me set up a mournful descant.

Read the extract with your students and think about:

1. How was Hetty feeling as she was taken away from the hospital?2. How does this change when she meets Gideon?3. What do you think their relationship will be like as they grow older?

Extracts from Hetty Feather

No other girl is as bold as me. I have a nature as fiery as my wretched hair. I do so hope I was bald when I was newly born in 1876. Suppose I came into the world with little red tufts. Oh dearie, what a shock for my poor mother.

‘Temper, temper! Never mind Limbo-land, she’s like a little imp from H-e-l-l,’ she said, giving me a shake.

‘Take the bottle like a good girl! You don’t want to starve, do you?’ I did not care whether I lived or died if I could not be with my mother. I cried all day, until my throat was raw and I shook all over, but it was no use. She still didn’t come.

‘No chance of forgetting this one. Miss Hetty Feather. I’m not sure you’ll want her, missus. She might be little but she’s a shocker for screaming. She’s been squealing like a pig ever since we left London.’

I loved our little treehouse so much I didn’t want to go home for tea. I shook my head and protested, clinging to the bark with my fingertips. Jem had to carry me home kicking and screaming.

‘Stop scaring the poor little mite senseless, Hetty. I’ll paddle you with my ladle if you don’t watch out.’ I’d been well and truly paddled several times and I didn’t enjoy the experience. I didn’t mean Gideon any harm. It wasn’t my fault he was such a little milksop.

Extracts about Gideon

He was not much bigger than me, a pale, spindly baby with a thatch of black hair and large eyes that fixed you with a mournful stare.

He was a half a head taller than me now, though still ultra-spindly, his neck and wrists and ankles so thin they looked in danger of snapping. Mother took it to heart that he looked so frail and sneaked him extra strips of bacon and a bite of Father’s chop, but the ribs still stuck out on his chest and his shoulder blades seemed about to slice straight through his skin.

Mother tried to encourage him to run about and play in the sunshine with us, but he preferred to cling to her skirts and climb on her lap whenever she sat down to shell peas or darn stockings.

‘Listen, Gideon. Let’s picture we’re in the woods. We’re lost and a huge huge huge howling wolf is going to eat us all up,’ I’d say. Gideon would start and tremble, and when I growled he ran screaming for Mother. She’d scoop him up in her arms and aim a swipe at me.

All about Katy CarrLesson Objective: to understand the main character in Jacqueline Wilson’s Katy.Lesson Outcome: a detailed character profile of Katy.

Key Questions:

1. Are girls expected to behave in a certain way? 2. What does it mean to be ‘girly’?

Katy Carr is not a girly girl. Read the extract below with your class and pick out all the ways in which Katy is not a typical girly girl:

I’m Katy Carr. I’m the eldest.When I was very small I was given a red car for my Christmas present. Not a little push-along car. A proper car I could climb into and pedal. I pedaled up and down the garden and all over the park and along the road to the shops with my Mum. I’d shout out all the time I was pedaling ‘I’m Katy Carr, I’m Katy Carr!’ My Mum knew I’d love that car. She understood that I wasn’t a girly girl. She didn’t give me dollies or dress me in pink. I had red dungarees and a red duffle coat and red wellie boots…… I hate dressing up and can’t stick having my photo taken. I’ve probably got more chance of being a brain surgeon or an astronaut than making it as a model.

Activity two:

Working in pairs, students should complete the character profile for Katy below. They should use all the words and phrases they picked out of the extract above as clues about how she looks and draw a picture of her in the box. Students should then write a descriptive paragraph about her personality. Use the sentence starters to get you started!

Jacqueline Wilson’s next novel, Katy, (publishing July 2015) is all about the character of Katy Carr - a lively, daredevil oldest sister in a big family. She loves messing around outdoors, climbing on the garage roof, or up a tree, cycling, skateboarding, swinging . . . But her life changes in dramatic and unexpected ways after a serious accident.

Jacqueline Wilson’s novel Katy is based on the 1872 book by Sarah Woolsey: What Katy Did. In both books, a lively and energetic girl called Katy enjoys life as a tomboy and adventuress. One lives in Victorian times, and the other in modern day, but both girls learn about recovery, acceptance and growing up.

Introductory Activity

These activities are designed to give students an overview of the original story of What Katy Did and an insight into Jacqueline Wilson’s modern retelling Katy.

Read the following extracts from Katy and What Katy Did with your students, and answer the questions:

1. What similarities can you notice between the Victorian Katy and the modern day Katy?2. What differences can you spot in the way the writers have chosen to write their stories?

What Katy Did

Whenever she stopped to think about her height she became very awkward, and felt as if she were all legs and elbows, and angles and joints. Happily, her head was so full of other things, of plans and schemes, and fancies of all sorts, that she didn’t often take time to remember how tall she was. She was a dear, loving child, for all her careless habits, and made bushels of good resolutions every week of her life, only unluckily she never kept any of them

Katy

I want to do something special and exciting in the future. I’m quite sporty and I’m especially good at being a shooter in netball because it’s so easy for me to dunk the ball in the net as I’m so tall. I’m not so hot at running though because my great lanky legs go all gangly. Maybe I’ll have to wait till I’m old enough to drive a proper car and then when I get wheels I’ll be a brilliant woman racing driver, ever so brave and daring.

All about The Foundling HospitalAfter a few years with her foster family, Hetty Feather is sent back to the Foundling Hospital to start her education.

Why did Jacqueline Wilson write about the Foundling Hospital?As a Thomas Coram Fellow of the Foundling Museum, Jacqueline Wilson was inspired to write her first historical novel based on what she saw and experienced at the Foundling Museum. Hetty Feather is the wonderfully original and exciting story of a young Victorian foundling girl in desperate search of her real mother and her adventure along the way. In the writing of this story Jacqueline Wilson took great care to ensure that her account of life at the Foundling Hospital and what happened to these children is as accurate as possible. Therefore, the Hetty Feather trilogy is a perfect teaching resource in engaging and extending pupils’ understanding of Victorian society and the lives of its impoverished children.

About the Foundling MuseumThe Foundling Museum tells the story of the Foundling Hospital, Britain’s first official home for abandoned and illegitimate children, and stands adjacent to the hospital’s original site in central London. Between 1739-1953 more than 27,000 babies were given up by desperate and often destitute women to the hospital, where they would be fed, clothed and educated. Virtually all would otherwise have died of starvation or disease, been deliberately killed or abandoned to die. The price of survival was no further contact between mother and child. The foundlings were trained to be humble, grateful, hard-working members of society, going into domestic service, the military or the navy when they left the hospital at around 13 years of age. The children were never told their parents’ identities - their birth names were changed to allow their unmarried mothers to start life afresh, the existence of their illegitimate child a shameful secret often taken to the grave.

Design a Foundling Hospital Identification TagWhen babies were left at the Foundling Hospital they were given an identification number as well as a new name.

So the kind nurse was called Winnie. And 25629 seemed to be my name now. I was not old enough to understand numbers, but the long sound was harsh and I hated it. However, before long I was given yet another name. I was dressed in a gown so stiff with starch I was stretched out rigidly, scarcely able to draw breath. I was carried to a new place, vast and echoing, with strange windows that played patterns of red and blue on the stone floor. There was solemn talk and then a voice addressed me.

‘I christen you Hetty Feather,’ he said, and sprinkled icy water on my forehead. I cried, trying to tell him that I didn’t wish to be called Hetty Feather, that wasn’t my real name at all, my real name was . . . From Hetty Feather page 7-8.

In preparation for Puffin Virtually Live, task your students to design their own identification tag to wear during the show or even throughout the school day. Before they begin the design task, present your students with these questions-

• Why do you think the Foundling Hospital gave its children new identities?• How would you feel if you were forced to change your name?• How would you feel if you were identified as a number?

Here is an example of how an identification tag might look-

ActivityYou could either cut this tag out and use it as a template. Or alternatively set your class the task of designing their own identification tag.

13


Letter Writing!Lesson Objective: to understand how to write in the voice of a character. Lesson Outcome: a creative letter.

After a few years with her foster family, Hetty Feather is sent back to the Foundling Hospital to start her education. She misses her old life in the countryside so spends her free time writing stories and sending letters to her foster family.

Students should consider the questions:

1. Why would writing letters have been important in Victorian times?2. Why would Hetty have wanted to write letters to her foster family?

The girls at the Foundling Hospital all have to copy out and send the exact same letter home:

Dear Mother

I now have the greatest pleasure in writing these few lines to you, hoping to find you quite well and happy, as it leaves me at present. Please give my love to all the family.

I remain Your affectionate girl Hetty

But really, Hetty is miserable and longs to write:

I detest it here and I miss you so and Sheila is mean and I hate Matron Peters and she stole my rag baby and I don’t wear drawers nowadays.

Organise your class into pairs and using the word bank below, they should carry on and complete Hetty’s real letter home. They need to express how she really feels about life at the Foundling Hospital and describe all the things she misses about her life in the countryside. They could use the letter template on the next page.

Word bank:• Miserable• Distraught • Yearning• Humiliating

Students should try to mention mealtimes, schooling, the other girls and how they miss their brothers. Remember – they need to write in the voice of Hetty!

14


Dear Mother,

I detest it here and I miss you so and Sheila is mean and I hate Matron Peters and she stole my rag baby and I don’t wear drawers nowadays.

15


Katy’s AccidentLesson Objective: to be able to empathise with Katy whilst she is in hospital. Lesson Outcome: hot seating and a diary entry in the voice of the character.

Students should consider the questions:1. Have you ever been to hospital? What was it like?2. If you had to spend a long time in hospital, what would you most miss about home?

In chapter 18, Katy is getting used to the routines of the hospital:I hated it in the hospital, but in a weird way I started to get used to it. I never got used to my new hateful body with its useless bladder and bowels and dead legs, but at least it was the same for all of us patients. I got used to the dreary hospital routine, even the horrible toileting. I got used to the clank and chime of all the hospital sounds and the slight creak of my special spinal bed as the air pumped in and out. I got used to the dreary exercise routines when Vicky the physiotherapist held my legs and moved them around so they didn’t get stiff. I couldn’t really feel what she was doing. It was always a shock when I leant forward and tried to move my legs with my own hands. They were such sad stick things but they seemed to weigh a ton when I hauled them just a few millimeters.

Activity one:Working with a partner, students should make a list of all the things Katy is slowly becoming used to about her hospital routine:

1. The boring hospital routine2. Horrible toilets3. 4. 5.

Activity two:They should write a short monologue in the voice of Katy, thinking about how Katy feels about her accident and being in hospital. Bonus points for creativity – students should use a thesaurus for those juicy adjectives!

Activity three:One person should come to the front of the class and sit in the hot seat as Katy. Remember – students need to speak and act as Katy! They should use their monologue to help them. The rest of the class should ask her questions and really explore how Katy feels at this point in the story.

16


Drama! Lesson Objective: to explore the differences between life in Victorian times and life today. Lesson Outcome: a piece of drama.

Students should consider the questions:

1. In what ways is life different now compared to how it was in Victorian times?2. Would you like to be a child living in Victorian times? Why/why not?

Activity One:Jacqueline Wilson’s two main characters Hetty, and Katy, have a lot in common. Working in pairs, students should make a list of all the ways in which they are similar. E.G – they both love stories and games, they both go to school.

Activity Two:Working with a partner, students need to imagine that Katy and Hetty were to meet. What would they say to each other? Create a piece of improvisation drama that explores how they would act and what they would say.

Students should perform their drama pieces to the class and take a vote – who has created the best Katy and Hetty?

Further drama activity ideas:

• As a whole class, imagine what a Victorian classroom would have been like and recreate it together.

• Hot seating characters from Hetty Feather such as her mother, Matron Bottomly and Gideon.

• Task groups to put together three freeze frames which show either Hetty’s story or Katy’s story.

CompetitionOne lucky school pupil could win a family ticket to see Hetty Feather Live AND tickets for their teacher by entering our Little Stars Book Cover Design competition.

Little Stars is Jacqueline Wilson’s brand new Victorian era story and will be published in October 2015. Set in the world of Hetty Feather, it follows Hetty and her friend Diamond as they take to the boards in a sparkling new adventure. The Little Stars book cover has yet to be revealed. So we want your students to design their own cover in the meantime. We’re looking for creativity, imagination and of course something that sums up the spirit of Hetty Feather.

There have been four stories in the Hetty Feather series so far. The information and book covers below may inspire your students when creating their Little Stars cover.

Hetty Feather is a baby when her mother leaves her at the Foundling Hospital, a home for abandoned children. She is soon sent to the countryside to live with a foster family. Hetty has a few happy years with her new siblings and discovers her love for the circus when Tanglefield’s Travelling Circus comes to town. But Hetty’s happiness is threatened when she must return to the Foundling Hospital to begin her education . . .

In a bid to leave ‘Hetty Feather’ behind, Hetty becomes Sapphire Battersea. Sapphire becomes a maid for a wealthy man before travelling to the coast to find her mother. Forced to earn a living to survive, Sapphire becomes a performer at a seaside attraction. Her life takes a dark twist when she experiences tragic loss…

Hetty sets off to find her father and later her foster family. She longs to find a place that feels like home but she fears she’ll never truly belong anywhere. For Hetty still longs for adventure – especially when an enchanting figure from her past makes an unexpected reappearance.

Born to penniless parents who longed for a strong, healthy son, Diamond was a dainty, delicate daughter - and a bitter disappointment. On discovering Diamond’s extraordinary gift for acrobatics, her parents sell her to the Tanglefield’s Travelling Circus. Life in the circus is hard but Diamond soon meets a new friend – Hetty Feather.
