On Monday 21st February work began with children (aged 2 and 3 years) and staff at the Bow Childcare Centre. They can’t leave the Centre to visit the surroundings, so they looked at some photos of Taylor Place and Bow Road that Ashley had taken on a sunny day earlier this year.

The children pieced together cut up photos of particular buildings and tried to guess what might happen inside. This proved to be quite difficult! One boy pointed to St. Catherine’s Church as his own house! Move over God?! That was one concept too great to attempt to explain! Someone recognised Nisa was a shop and others made suggestions about what people could buy there. Their shopping list included - chewing gum, croissants, cocoa pops and sweeties. The idea of NatWest bank was a bit confusing for everyone, until one girl announced she has a piggy bank and everyone knew how that functioned. So NatWest bank can be understood as a very big piggy bank!

To help focus on looking at the neighbourhood more closely, the children then made special ‘cameras’, by careful cutting and sticking. These ‘cameras’ can be used by visitors to the event at the Nunnery Gallery, Bow Road on 31^st March 3 - 8pm.
