Lesson Planning

To round off the Block, children set up a class museum of the history of communication. They label artefacts and produce records for all this that have been lent or given. They discuss and then help to produce a catalogue before opening for visitors!

Children will:

• Participate in the setting up of a class museum.
• Write labels for objects in the museum.
