We went to the Ragged School Museum to see what we can learn about childhood in Victorian England.Many of the poor and destitute children who attended these schools were orphans abandonded by their unwed mothers who could not support their child.
Do you have any memories of childhood/motherhood years ago?
Were you a teen mum/parent?
If so, talk to us teen mums from Newham we would love to hear from you, where ever you live.
Here we are making our way to the Ragged School Museum. It was not a nice day and it rained all the way there and back.
Pennies for Pounds
This is a picture of a chalk board from the trip to the Ragged School Museum. It shows an example of what money was worth in the early 1900's and how chalk boards were once used as a method for teaching.
