Picnic plate poetry and a trip to the Museum

June 23, 2022 by Candida Wingate

This morning, Kate and Dean visited residents at Britten Court, where they shared the children’s souvenir plates. The plates were decorated with images and text taken from their visit to the Suffolk Archives, and the residents were thrilled to hear about basking sharks, recipes for pickled herring – and a picture of a well-known Southwold […]

A little souvenir of their trip to Suffolk Archives

June 17, 2022 by Candida Wingate

Last week, the Special Delivery group of children from Roman Hill Primary school visited Suffolk Archives, and discovered a whole host of things. Many of the discoveries they made were prompted by questions from residents at Britten Court and yesterday they set about creating a record of their visit, in the style of a souvenir […]

Special Delivery to Woods Loke Primary School

June 17, 2022 by Candida Wingate

What a glorious Thursday. First, we spent a happy morning with Year 6 at Woods Loke Primary School, where the children watched the Jessie’s Letter film, and then created their own, highly personalised, postcards. The work was sensational, as you will see from just a few of them featured below. Thank you so much, Woods […]

Roman Hill Discoveries at Suffolk Archives

June 9, 2022 by Candida Wingate

From old school photos and bus timetables, by way of lifeboat heroes, shopping lists, basking sharks and testimonial football matches, the children from Roman Hill discovered an amazing amount yesterday, including a couple of brand new words, as used in Dean’s poem below. Langled & Galing Time travelling snow snowing gale galing – we’ll do […]

An imaginary scrapbook, postcards and wishes

May 23, 2022 by Candida Wingate

Oh, what a joy to be back at Britten Court. Two years ago, we paused all face-to-face Special Delivery sessions with residential care homes, so it was lovely to be back at Britten Court last week, where we could actually meet the residents and chat directly with them. Hopefully, we’ll be able to visit with […]

Flowers can say so much

May 18, 2022 by Candida Wingate

The children have been studying a letter from Mary Lincolne, written when she was 13 years old and away at boarding school in Beccles. Unaccustomed to the beautiful copperplate writing, the children found it difficult to read – so they used a variety of magnifying glasses to hunt out words that looked familiar. As they […]

News from Beech House

May 17, 2022 by Candida Wingate

We’ve just collected the cards from Beech House, and this is what the residents had to say: – We had such a lovely afternoon, we lost track of time, so we did this [activity] as a group. We all get so excited when we see the [Archive] Box arrive and can’t wait to see what […]

What do fish play on the piano?

May 12, 2022 by Candida Wingate

Scales. We have Martin to thank for that riddle, along with several others that he sent to the group at Roman Hill, in response to the postcards they sent last week. It was lovely to share back the postcards from all the residents at Britten Court taking part in Special Delivery; from questions about fishing, […]

The Special Delivery postcards, written by children at Roman Hill Primary School

Last week saw the first Special Delivery creative session at Roman Hill Primary School, with poet Dean Parkin impressing the children with a recital of his ‘list’ poem, ‘The Bubble Wrap’. List upon list followed, from different ways to say hello, to favourite animals, sports, hobbies and subjects. All these were then distilled into personal […]

Happy Easter, everyone

April 6, 2022 by Candida Wingate

Yesterday, 190 pupils and staff at Oulton Broad Primary School watched and applauded as the Special Delivery group received certificates and the Newsletter, celebrating all that they had achieved over the past ten weeks. The group got to open the Easter cards sent to them by residents at Broadlands last week, but not before they […]
