Inspiration for Teachers: Made in ancient Egypt
Saturday 7th March, 2.30pm
Join members of the learning team for a discussion tour of the ancient Egyptian galleries and the Made in Ancient Egypt exhibition, followed by a practical creative workshop exploring related materials.
How can we support children to learn from Ancient Egyptian objects and stories? What is challenging about this topic?
We will explore ideas for looking closely and making deductions from objects, consider ways to spark discussions and encourage oracy development, and learn about latest research and resources available from the Museum to support your own subject knowledge.
Included in the ticket price: entry to the exhibition, all materials, & light refreshments
This event is suitable for Primary teachers.
Session runs: 2.30-4.30pm
