Today with the school, we went to the collection.
To those who are wondering, The Collection brings together an award winning archaeology museum and the region’s premier art gallery, the Usher Gallery, in the heart of historic Lincoln.
The archaeology gallery tells the story of Lincolnshire’s fascinating heritage through artifact rich displays and reconstructions, hands-on activities, touch-screen games, and the chance to dress up in authentic historical costumes.
The schools Investigate programme at The Collection museum is a Sandford Award winner . This is the only national award for quality and excellence in education.
The award winning Investigate schools programme at The Collection museum presents lively hands-on, cross-curricular workshops based around our unique collection of artifacts.
Since the main theme this year is about the romans,the whole activities and tour guide was about this era only.
The classes were divided in to 6 groups and each group had to do a certain activity, then swap so that they go through all of them.
Key Stage One and Key Stage Two pupils experienced object handling through the Big Dig archaeology activity, took staff-led tours of the galleries and made artefact-based crafts to take home.
the kids had the opportunity to Learn about the military establishment of Lincoln under the Ninth Legion and about life for the Roman citizens of the important Roman city of Lindum Colonia, and See the mosaic floor discovered during the construction of the museum building.
The activities were tailored to meet the needs of the children. Which is a fascinating idea that made the students feel good about themselves especially when they were able to relate what they discovered/ learned at school to the things that are in the museum.
