About our town
|
Helen Allinson is the museum's education secretary. Bring your class to visit and enhance your history curriculum. We have much to offer Key Stage Two children. Our volunteers give a guided tour of the museum, and this can bring your Local Study unit, or your study of Children in the Second World War to life. |
 |
|
|
For local study we have a range of objects on display which illustrate the growth and development of the town, and for the Second World War we have a 1940s kitchen and an Anderson air raid shelter, complete with sound effects, which the children can go inside. Contact our education secretary to arrange a visit. We make a small charge per child. |
|
| We can also help with your history lessons in school by lending you "Treasure Chests". These are clear plastic boxes into which we put a selection of objects for children to examine, handle, and possibly use. These could be the basis of lessons on how things were done in the past. This is a free service. |  |
|
| These experiences are tailored to cater for varying age groups and abilities and (very importantly) are FUN! |
