Date:Not Recorded
Description:As well as going to school and church and learning trades or domestic skills the homes were where the children also spent their leisure activities. They had their own swimming pools and playing fields and had an annual Sports Day. Children would also spend their birthdays and Christmas days at the home and later children who lived in the homes also remembered being taken on holidays to the seaside. Questions to think about: Look carefully at the photograph. Can you tell, what the weather is like? What game the children are playing? Are all the children involved? Are many people watching? Does it look like your school sports day?
