About The Session

We are delighted to introduce our newly revamped Key Stage 1  session  – Discovering the Victorians!  

We will bring the past to life for children, introducing them to the characters of Lark Hill Place and recreating the atmosphere of Victorian Salford. Pupils will learn about the Victorian Washday with a costumed facilitator and take part in a hands-on demonstration.  

Our new session has been designed so pupils have much more time playing with our selection of Victorian toys, looking at modern toys and comparing old and new. 

There is also an opportunity to visit our famous Victorian street – Lark Hill Place  – please note that this is a self led element which we will support with some specially designed activities to help you make the most of your visit.  

Learning Objectives

By the end of the session learners will:

  • Have met and interacted with characters from Victorian times.
  • Be able to identify differences between ways of life at different times (ref. History NC KS1)
  • Be able to ask and answer questions about the past (ref. History NC KS1)

Location

This session is at Salford Museum and Art Gallery

Discovery Boxes

Discovery Boxes are exciting museum object-based learning resources for use in the classroom to enrich your curriculum-based teaching. Schools can book and borrow them from Salford Museum and Art Gallery, and they include museum objects, archival material, and a variety of activities for pupils to do as a class, in groups and as individuals as well as videos, photos and more! We’ve built key areas of the curriculum into these resources so that schools can introduce aspects of history, local history and art into their classroom with ease, and importantly, fun! Each Discovery Box covers a theme, and within it, a number of curriculum markers.
