It’s been British science week and what a fantastic time this has been. There was awe and wonder to start the week with Agata demonstrating her science skills in assembly. Next week we’ll have a science edition newsletter. Chill Project We had an amazing response from years 2,3 and 4 for the Chill project with over 50 children taking part. We had a room full of scientists measuring their lung capacity and fitting them with machines that measure their exercise across the week. They are taking part in some real research which will help the politicians judge whether the lower emissions zone impacts on children’s health. We were joined on Monday by the BBC and a film crew from the One Show. They will let us know what day it will be shown. Year 2 have been working with Arts Admin who are based in Toynbee Hall and are going to be putting on their own art exhibition in a gallery on Brick Lane in the summer. They have been working with some artists this week gathering tiny, tiny pieces that have left behind in all sorts of places. They have been rummaging in St Botolph’s church, Gardiners paper bag shop, the Whitechapel art gallery and the Brady Centre. Next week they start to make some miniature sculptures with the artists. Swimming Rhino class have started their two-week period of intensive swimming lessons. Already the children have grown in confidence in the water. A big thank you to all the parents who have accompanied us, we couldn’t have managed without you.

  • Petticoat Lane Al Fresco –––––––––––––––––––––––– for the Last Four Centuries, P
    Petticoat Lane Al Fresco –––––––––––––––––––––––– For the last four centuries, Petticoat Lane Market formed a sort of membrane between the ‘City of London’ and the ‘East End’. The granite heart of global capitalism on one side of cast iron bollards, the red-brick muscle of Empire’s labourers on the other. Over the last seventy years, however, the gradual closure of the docks and the outsourcing of industry has seen the city’s muscle wither. The City on the other hand – along with its ‘cognitive labour’ – has metastasised through the old inner-East End. You can smell the coffee roasters and sourdough pizzerias chasing the cement and emulsion-paint-fumes up the road, from Whitechapel to Mile End. Like an amoeba phagocytosing a smaller organism, The City has also enveloped Petticoat Lane, cocooned it with towers of glass and wipe-clean cladding, and is slowly digesting it. Over the course of the last fifteen years, the enzymatic action of re-valorised inner-city living has all but entirely broken down the old market, reconstituting greasy spoon cafes, luggage retailers and kinky underwear wholesalers into cocktail bars, gourmet ‘candy’ retailers and Chicago rib joints. The old market has not, however, been fully digested. At least not at the time of writing. For a start, there are still a handful of wholesalers in its vicinity. Peddling imported luminous batiks, patent leather heels, bongs and phone covers, the wholesalers are dependent on customers making the increasingly expensive trip into London’s congestion charge zone. In between the residues of the rag-trade is also Petticoat Lane’s food court; an assemblage of plastic patio chairs, polystyrene containers, a café, a restaurant and between five to eight food trucks.

  • London Exclusives Pop up Events
    QUICK GUIDE TO LONDON FASHION London is a vibrant city teeming with opportunities for creativity. I have my own clothing brand, and so upon arrival to London, getting a hold on what London fashion had to offer was paramount to me. This piece is split into 4 sections. One will focus on the new and exciting brands essential to the character of London fashion. Second, I will turn my attention to pop up events. Third is thrift shops and cheaper options. Lastly, I will discuss what resources are available when it comes to creating your own clothing in London. The British pound is stronger than the US dollar, so some of these places tend to be expensive. I tried to limit this piece to shops that have items for less than $100. However, exploring shops and fashion districts is a great way to feel more local and comfortable in a new area regardless of the price points. London Exclusives There are many stores that are exclusive to London. Take advantage of your time abroad and get some things you can only find here. Even after you leave, you’ll have invaluable items that will always remind you of your time here. Champion, the sweat brand that has collaborated with the likes of BEAMS Japan, Bathing Ape and Urban Outfitters has its own store in London. The only other Champion store you can find is in Amsterdam. Some of the exclusive collaborations can be expensive, but the simpler items like sweatpants and t-shirts sit around $30 or $50. It is located in Soho which is right in central London.

  • A Place with a Rich Cultural Heritage. It Has Had a Consistent History
    FOREWORD Tower Hamlets is a borough immersed in culture; a place with a rich cultural heritage. It has had a consistent history of cultural diversity for over hundreds of years and has been a place where people from all over the world have come to live, work and visit. This diverse population is a unique feature - and one which the community can feel proud of. Tower Hamlets is very much a global borough, with economic and social activity that influences international capital and local communities alike. From Bethnal Green in the North to the Isle of Dogs in the South, Poplar in the East and to the Tower of London in the West, the borough spans a diverse community that makes Tower Hamlets what it is today. The borough has an extremely rich and diverse range of cultural attractions - from household names like the Tower of London and Petticoat Lane Market, to the numerous artists and craftspeople working largely unseen across the borough. It is one borough, made up of a wide mix of different people from all over the world, and the cultural strategy outlined on the following pages will demonstrate the full range of cultural provision that seeks to enhance the quality of their lives. Through cultural activity and opportunity, the Council and its partners, are seeking to fulfil the commitment to community cohesion by offering everyone activities and leisure opportunities through which they can achieve greater fulfilment and personal development. Culture in Tower Hamlets can be defined in many ways, but the abiding principle of culture in this community is its people.

  • The Soup Kitchen for the Jewish Poor the History of London, Dr Ian Stone – Website – Blog – Youtube
    The Soup Kitchen for the Jewish Poor The History of London, Dr Ian Stone – Website – Blog – YouTube Slide 1 – George Duckworth was no stranger to the poverty of Victorian east London. Although educated at Eton and at Trinity College, Cambridge, he had, in 1892, began working with the philanthropist and social reformer, Charles Booth, investigating the living and working conditions of inner London. As he walked round the streets of Spitalfields with Sergeant French of Whitechapel Police, in March 1898, Duckworth found plenty of destitution to record in his notebook. Slide 2 – At the Roman Catholic Convent of Mercy and Providence Night Refuge, on the corner of Artillery Lane and Bell Lane, where now there is student accommodation and several small businesses, he saw thirty men and two women, ‘a set of scoundrels’ according to Sergeant French, queuing at separate entrances for a bed for the night. It was only 1 PM and the doors would not be open for another three hours. Bell Lane was one of the most overcrowded areas in all London. On average, 800 people were crammed into each acre here, compared to about fifty people per acre in London as a whole. Slide 3 – Duckworth noted that Dorset Street, just around the corner, was filled with thieves, prostitutes and dirty, unkempt residents; it was, he thought, the worst street he had seen so far in his perambulation of London. Little Paternoster Row was hardly any better: here, in a street with broken windows, he found ragged women and children wearing toeless boots. Duckworth believed that for vice, it would have been hard to find worse streets anywhere in London and that, on the whole, the people who lived in this area were vicious, semi- criminals.
