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 […]

Getting to know you

May 11, 2022 by Candida Wingate

Oh, the excitement of opening the envelope. Inside, there were more envelopes and inside those were the individually wrapped and labelled ‘I am from …’ poems, written by residents at Beech House. There was also that all important Invitation, which is to take tea with the residents in the garden at Beech House. Needless to […]

An Important Invitation

May 10, 2022 by Candida Wingate

A large handmade envelope, decorated with flowers and feathers, and an Important Invitation

Last week, the children at Edgar Sewter sent little letters in huge envelopes to the residents at Beech House – and just look at what the adults sent back; this is, indeed, a very Special Delivery. The residents clearly enjoyed themselves creating and recording their ‘I am from …’ poems and making the envelope; apparently, […]

A Special Delivery of Easter Cards

March 30, 2022 by Candida Wingate

Yesterday was our final session at Oulton Broad Primary school, and what a whirlwind it turned out to be. But first, I had to pick up a very special delivery from Broadlands. Each parcel contained a beautifully collaged Easter card made by residents – but I can’t show you what they looked like, as I […]

The Marvellous Collections

March 23, 2022 by Candida Wingate

Last week, the residents produced their own tiny archives, into which they placed a thing, a sound, a smell – and something that made them smile. This week it was the children’s turn and then Dean took all of the individual archives and turned them into The Marvellous Collections If we had the strangest magical […]

Personal Archives and the Joy of Collage

March 16, 2022 by Candida Wingate

Last week, we invited Broadland residents to take part in a guided activity to create a personal archive. Limited to just four items – a thing, a smell, a sound and something that made them smile, the group obviously enjoyed it, as Lee – the activity co-ordinator – explained. “A great session this morning with […]

A Memorable Visit to the Archives

February 16, 2022 by Candida Wingate

From tracing the history of the Maconochie brothers (who knew they invented Pan Yan pickle?) to browsing newspaper headlines in the 1930’s and studying maps that predated the building at Broadlands, the children had a fabulous time at the Archive office in Lowestoft on Monday afternoon. Armed with a reporter’s pad, a ‘press’ pass and […]
