 Logo competition! Calling young people in Tower Hamlets between the ages of 6 and 16 years old
The Tower Hamlets Children’s Safeguarding Partnership has been revamped with some new arrangements. The partnership makes sure that all agencies in the borough work together for the safety and well-being of children.
We need a logo to represent working together and having children and young people at the centre of the work.
Draw your design and send a picture to LSCB@towerhamlets.gov.uk by Friday 31st July to be in with a chance to win a book voucher worth £40!
 #LookThinkDo with the Fitzwilliam Museum
The Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge have curated a range of look, think and do activities which are a starting point to get families ‘looking, talking and doing’ together. The look and think activities should take 5-10 minutes, whilst the do activities may take a little longer, depending on the task. Notes for parents and teachers are included.
 Learn about the Romans
The Roman Baths have created a range of activities on their website exploring the lives of the Romans and so much more. Activities range from mindful art, Roman games, mosaics and Caesars secrets, where you can have a try at decoding a secret message.
 Make your own museum
The London Transport Museum have a range of downloadable cut and colour templates of some of the vehicles in their collection. This includes trains, a black taxi, a Routemaster bus and you can make your own Battle Bus used during the First World War to carry troops!
Other activities include colouring sheets for the famous fabric designs of the underground, a crossword, quiz and a wordsearch.
 Learn Piano at home with a virtual piano
Virtual Piano provides a free learning tool that enables anyone with a computer and keyboard to play the piano. No prior knowledge of music notation is needed as it uses the English alphabet, encouraging users to begin playing instantly.
The piano can also play a range of songs from classical to movie soundtracks using autoplay, enabling you to hear the music before practicing it yourself.
 “Somewhere inside all of us is the power to change the world.”
