With the start of the school Summer Term (where does the time go?!), we thought we would take a little look a back at the Spring Term delivery with Wakefield Museums. From workshops at the two castles to visits to Wakefield Museum and outreach into schools, the team have covered sessions on Rhubarb to sessions using iPads to record short stories and animations.
We met nearly 2000 pupils and their teachers during the Spring term and here are some comments we received:
Teachers
“The workshop was
excellent. The children all had chance to participate and had lots of fun” KS2
teacher Charles Waterton session
“Excellent workshop
– appropriate to the age of the children. Children really enjoyed it and learnt
a lot – Thank you” KS1 Teacher Charles Waterton session
“The workshop was
very well organised and enjoyable.” KS1 teacher Victorian Houses and Homes
session
“Very well led. All
children engaged.” KS2 teacher Sandal Castle tour and poetry session
Pupils

it again” Y5 pupil animation session

Medieval Bones, Tudor Food, Sandal Castle tours and more
Waterton sessions - to name a few.
