Sherborne Museum celebrates a decade of providing educational services. The museum's innovative idea to provide close links with local schools led to the formation of The Schools Liaison Committee, a first in the area for a small museum.
Since that time representatives from each local school have met at the museum to discuss ways of forging closer links with the museum.
A schools case hosts an annual exhibition prepared by pupils themselves and pupils are also invited to submit entries to the Gerald Pitman Memorial Photographic Competition each year on a theme decided by the committee. Over the last three years grant aid from the Renaissance South Wet and MLA has enabled the museum to set up a number of loans boxes for Schools. The boxes are available for a period up to half a term covering the following topics:
Coming soon!Make their Day - a nursery rhyme story board with handling box best suited to Pre-Schools, Rising Fives and early KS1 children. Citizenship and Remembrance - the importance of remembering and how to trace and put faces to the names on war memorials, accompanied with a handling box. |
