Description: Opening Title: Miss Sharman's Homes Newlands Park S.E. 1937.

Opening scene of large Victorian terraced houses, to the side we see a smaller building which looks like a school and is presumably the home .Outside this building we see a number of younger children playing ball, or carrying a teddy bear or a doll. Children talking with others over a gate, probably outside the premises either in Venner Road or Newlands Park.

Various scenes of young girls performing a number of domestic jobs such as scrubbing the steps leading inside the Home, washing cloths,pegging them onto a washing line,washing crockery,watering plants in a border using a small watering can.

A young girl prepares a table, putting a tablecloth on and adding dishes and cutlery. Several children sit at the table and are waited on by the young girl. It looks rather like  pretend food!

Other scenes of the children at play,playing with building bricks,drawing,and a line of young girls bounce and catch balls outside the home,they have their own play mats and are playing in a very orderly fashion.

A young girl washes up very studiously even if there is no water!
