Hi, For hands-on activities with the under 5s, you should visit the excellent Curiosity and Imagination website, packed with resources including ways to get in touch with experts in this area. www.centresforcuriosity.org.uk Kind regards, Ms Regan Forrest Senior Consultant (Interpretation) Haley Sharpe Design Leicester, UK -----Original Message----- From: List for discussion of issues in museum education in the UK. [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of education Sent: 05 October 2004 16:49 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: two queries Hello everyone, we at the Building Exploratory would be really interested in hearing of: (a) any work which has been done on the the development of hands-on resources for the under 5's. Do any specific guidelines exist, where could we get more information? (b) if you work with secondary schools, especially KS3, examples of successful work, and how you went about it: did you have a one-off session or a series of workshops? how did you approach the schools so that they would let a class "miss" some lessons in order to visit your organisation? what was the outcome and how did you deal with that, eg was there an end product that was displayed in an exhibition? thanks for any feedback!!!
