Learning outside the classroom. Primary history
Description
Why not visit the Imperial War Museum, Duxford, The National Archives or Blists Hill Victorian Town and be inspired by living history, role play and real artefacts. The key principle for teaching history is to help your class raise questions, and there is no better way to spark their imaginations than taking them to historical locations. Imperial War Museum, Duxford gives a class an opportunity to study the KS2 topic structures using the historical context of war and conflict. Inspired by a Norman Foster designed aircraft hanger, and some fantastic historic planes they look at structures, and even build their own. At the National Archives in Kew the children are truly privileged to see some of the oldest and most important historic records that have shaped our country. And finally a whole class trip to Blist Hill Victorian Town at the Ironbridge Gorge museum allows the pupils to live like Victorians in an immersive historical experience.
