Trip to the Women's Library new Exhibition

We will be going to the Women's Library Tuesday 6th November 2007 to see the exhibiton Sinners, Scroungers, Saints: Lone mothers, past and present. It's an exhibiton that is very interesting and informative about the issues which have effected lone parents historically and the present day. We will be meeting at Stratford Station @ 12pm, come along, join us!!!!


Here we are at the Women's library with Catherine Norman who is the
Audience Development Assistant.
She gave us a guided tour of the exhibiton.

We also managed to film and record the interview on a Sony HD camcorder.

The girls really enjoyed this bit of the workshops and trips. There's no stopping them!!

I must say our girls have the pontential to become the next June sarpong. I am being serious here, because you know, she too was a local girl that achieved fame and recognition as a professional presenter.

Days out and fun things to do with your children!

Why don't you share with us any activites or fun things that you do with your children. The holidays are upon us now and I am sure that many would appreciate information or ideas to keep the young ones occupied. Days out in Essex.

Ragged School Museum Trip

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.
