The ICT skills were provided by Martin Bazley of ICT4learning.com and it was designed by Surface Impression.

'Hands-on' Learning Workshops

All workshops have been developed to encourage a variety of learning styles based on the National Curriculum and QCA Schemes of Work.  They can be taught in the museum or in your classroom.  

Children will have the opportunity to handle real and replica objects, try on costumes, make a craft, listen to music, fill in worksheets and take part in role-play.  

Workshops last approximately two hours.  The education service is very flexible and changes can be made to any workshop to meet special requirements.
