Why not come along to the Museum for a hands on workshop? Secondary students at SOFO get to learn through action. They have opportunities to handle and learn from our extensive handling collection; try an make-and so activity; or try out our life-size experiences (we have a walk-in WWI trench, a life-size Anderson Shelter and a section of a Horsa glider). All our workshops take a cross-curricular approach, working not only with the National Curriculum’s history outcomes but in some instances with STEM, careers and Artsmark outcomes.
You don't have to book a workshop to benefit from the learning opportunities at SOFO: there are plenty of options for schools who wish to attend using only self-guided activities, with stamp passports, lifesize exhibits and more. Please ensure you book self-guided visits prior to arriving, by contacting Museum Programme Officer Anita Joice at anita.joice@sofo.org.uk, tel: 01993 810214.
The following workshops are available:
Churchill, Champion of Technology - STEM focus
Saving Cells, Saving Lives - STEM and careers focus
After Anne ( focus on the Holocaust)
Young people with additional needs (SEND)
An introduction to Ejector Seats.
