We are a team of teachers who work with pupils when they visit
Museum sites. We teach across the
age range, from 4 years - 18 years. All our teaching sessions are
closely linked to the curriculum
and to schools’ needs. Children can take part in role-play,
drama, historical investigation and
discovery, critical studies and art
activities, science explorations, maths workshops and much,
much more!
We write information for teachers
about the Museums and their collections,
and produce plenty of activity
sheets and worksheets for pupils
to give a structure and curriculum
focus to their visit. We only provide
these when a visit is booked.
We create a variety of on-line resources to support the curriculum
and teaching across the museums.
These learning resources can be found
within the specific museum webpage
which is accessible from the links
on the left. There is also a BMAG
for Kids website
which offers many fun games, interactive
and printable learning activities
including Explore an Egyptian Tomb
and Dress the Roman Solider and our
new interactive website Alien
Adventures contains more interactive activities
and games, all of which are History
or Art based. Many of the resources
are created by the Web Content Manager
and the Web Developer and any feedback
or suggestions for new interesting
activities would be greatly received.

Teachers can attend INSET courses
held at all the Museums. Courses
focus on a particular subject,
curriculum area, exhibition, or
Key Stage relevance.
We run a loans service
which has over 200 boxes of objects,
ranging
from Ancient Egyptian artefacts
to zoological specimens. Teachers
can borrow loans to use in the
classroom for a half-term.
