Introduction.
Have you ever wondered how crimes and punishments have changed throughout the ages ? If you have , you have come to the right text . The five eras that I’m going to be writing about are : the Romans , the Anglo- Saxons , the Tudors , the Victorians and World War II . Did you know that theft has always been the most common crime committed in those eras and it still is today?An example of a punishment for a crime would be getting put in a sack with snakes and thrown into a river to drown . This would happen if you committed patricide ( killing your father) .

The  Roman times
During the time spanning roughly between 500BC and 400AD , the Roman Empire ruled most of the civilised  world . During this time  , lots of slums and homeless people were really poor so they had to steal the food . So that is why theft is the most common crime committed . There is also murder . The punishments were harsh but not as harsh and the Anglo-Saxon and the Tudor punishments . If you killed someone your punishment would be crucifixion, and if you stole something your hand would be cut off to stop you from stealing again . Fortunately there was something to stop people from committing crimes sometimes . There were about 7000 vigils who dealt with criminals like thieves and enslaved people who ran away . Let’s look at crime and punishment in the Anglo -Saxon times .

Anglo-Saxon times
The Anglo-Saxon period began in Britain around 410CE . During this time , there were a lot of neighbourly  neighbours but also some people who would commit crimes . The three most common crimes committed were fighting , treason and theft . If someone was seen committing a crime then the witness could raise a ‘hue and cry ‘ (shouting for help ) . You would to pay money for  fighting because the doctors would need to repair the broken bone they broke . If you committed treason of theft you would be instantly killed .

Tudor times.
The Tudor period began in Britain in 1485 – 24 March – 1603 . This was a time of many changes . Explorers discovered new lands and maps had to be rewritten and there were religious changes across England and Wales . But people still committed  awful crimes! The most popular crimes that were committed were stealing , heresy and treason . Did you know , that there were ‘parish cons tables ‘ that caught criminals . To deal with these criminals , there were ordeals to see if you were guilty or innocent , the ordeals were divination , a physical test and battle . The punishments were being in the stocks , being beheaded and burned . Although these crimes are harsh , the Roman punishments are nicer . 

The Victorian times.
The Victorian period started    1837 and it ended in 1901 . This time it was fairly more modern than the other eras . For example they had police but they were really bad ones and they weren’t paid enough money .  The three most common crimes in this time were , not sending your child to school , theft  , and murder . Some punishments were really harsh . Like if you did not send your child  to school you would be sent to Australia for six months without for or water , you would have to hunt for it . Did you know , child offenders had to go to a ‘ Reformatory school ‘ to get help . Something that wasn’t fair in this time was if you were a darker skin colour they would treat you differently and even execute you! But obviously this has changed now . 

World War II
World War II started in 1939 and it ended in 1945 . This era is the most Modern  era I am going to be writing about . The three most common crimes committed were looting , the black market and murder . There were more reliable police then and they got a more average wage . The punishments weren’t as harsh . Nobody was getting killed (only if you committed murder) , they probably just went in prison for a few years or they might have got a fine . Did you know , that the court was much more serious and fair ! For looting you would get a fine or a short prison sentence . For committing the black market you would get a big fine and imprisonment. Lastly , for murder you would be put to death if you were guilty .

An excellent and informative report, Violet.  A good range of sentence types with subject- specific vocabulary throughout.  A few missing commas in clausing- but only a few!  Always remember formality though- try not to start sentences with “Like…” 

Introduction
Have you ever wondered how mountains are formed ? Although mountains are formed over millions of years , they are all completely diverse . There are four different types ; Block , Dome , Fold and Plateaus . Block mountains are created when the Earths crust is pulled up in big folds or forced up or down in blocks . Constantly , the weather wears the rocky surface away and leaves the mountains jagged.

Block mountains

To begin to form a block mountain , a slab of land has to break off and then is slowly forced up as two of Earths tectonic plates as they pull apart or push together . The name block mountains comes from the two blocks either side of the mountain that are forced down , while the mountain is forced up . This process is known as being forced down. Did you know , faults  are lines where the ground breaks apart to commonly make earthquakes . √ Nicely written.

Dome mountains

Interestingly , dome mountains occur when liquid rock inside the Earth forces the ground above it upward (so the swelling doesn’t break through the surface ) . The force , or pressure , which produces a dome like shape is where the name Dome mountain came from . This mountain is very different from a volcano , since the molten rock does not erupt through the crust just like a volcano , it is a type of mountain .

Fold mountain

Amazingly , fold mountains are the most common type of mountain ! Slowly, making more and more folds , the tectonic plates push forward over the years . The Himalayas in Asia are good examples of fold mountains , they are 50 million years old .  Surprisingly, many mountain ranges are older . When the Indian plate collided with the Asian plate , the Himalayas began to form .

Plateaus

Shockingly, Plateaus are flat areas of land which are found in high places . When a mountain is formed , blocks of Earth can drop and lift next to each other to produce a high mountain and a lower  plateau . Above sea  levels , plateaus can be found . Did you know , the Tibetan Plateau in the Himalayas is the worlds highest plateau , and the largest  . It is 16,400 ft above sea level .
