Launch of the Whitechapel Fountain

/in /by

Year 3 and 4 were invited to the unveiling and restoration of the Whitechapel Fountain. The children previously visited the location when learning about the Romans in their history topic.

The Whitechapel Fountain stands upon the original site of the ‘white chapel’ that gave a name to the East London borough. The fountain dates from 1860, but was moved to its present location in1879. The project aimed to restore the stones around the fountain as it was in a poor condition. Some children performed their poems while others presented their posters. The children actively shared what they learnt about the history of the fountain and even participated in cutting the ribbon! They handed out leaflets to the public which had one of the children’s posters published on it. They were also given the opportunity to fill up their bottles and drink from the fountain.
