Outreach

Outreach sessions are available as a pre– or post– visit service. They have been designed to help support your curriculum.

Key Stage One
Where do I belong?
Your class will be introduced to some of the houses that are at the Museum and their place in the historical timeline. Using investigative skills to identify and sort objects from the houses, your class will match the objects to the correct house and time period. The objects chosen will relate to domestic items that many of the children will be familiar with in their own homes.
Length: 1 hour
Key Stage Two
The Victorian Country Child
The children will be introduced to some children’s characters from the homes and other Victorian areas at the Museum. In smaller groups they will be encouraged to use investigative skills to find out about each of these children by looking at objects from the time.

Length: 1 hour

Making do

Using four sets of objects the children will be able to use investigative skills to find out more about the
lives of four characters during the 1940s.

Length: 1 hour

Key Stage Three

The Traditional Farm

Using period objects your class can discover how farm labourers worked in the past.
We are able to support Medieval Realms, the Agrarian Revolution or Victorian Britain with our
collection.

Length: 1 hour

Cost

One Outreach session per day = £120.00
Two Outreach sessions per day = £200.00
Three Outreach sessions per day = £250.00

Schools booking an Outreach Session will receive a 10% discount on admission charges on a
supporting visit to the Museum in the same term.

Outreach can only be undertaken within easy travelling distance of the museum (e.g. a maximum of a
30 minute drive).
