Educational Guided Tours for School Groups
Self-Guided School Visits in the Local History Gallery
Bring your class for a self-guided cross curricular learning session in our new Heritage Lottery Funded Cannock Chase Local History Gallery. The study of local history is great for young learners as it helps them to gain an understanding of their local area and community, past and present.
- The Local History Gallery includes: Displays on the development of the Cannock Chase area, including our mlitary, social, and industrial history.
- Local artefacts, written sources, oral accounts and photographs.
- Topics include: Natural History; Notable Local People; Health & Housing; Sport & Leisure; Wartime & Military; Rural to Industrial; Local Lifestyles... and more!
- Large open space for group working.
- Opportunity to view other Museum galleries and use the gift shop.
A Teacher's Pack will be provided in advance which include group activities for your pupils to carry out during their visit. Activities encourage pupils to to use an enquiry-based approach to compare their local area over different periods of history, stimulating discussion, evaluating evidence, generating questions and analysing different interpretations of the past.
A session of 1-2 hours can be booked in the gallery, with your teachers pack included. We can accommodate one class per gallery per session. General admission to the Museum is free - a small fee of £10 for administration and materials will be payable.
Supports KS2 work on History, Citizenship, Geography, Creative Writing and Communication skills.
