Ipswich Historical Society
School Excursions with Tailored Activities
A museum is a mysterious place for a budding detective to investigate the past! How curious and imaginative are your students?
Our Education Coordinator is available to work with teachers to tailor a visit for students to enjoy and that aligns with their curriculum. Our volunteers man the stations and interact with students.
Activities are hands on wherever possible and can be designed for specific group needs.
Inclusions:
- Olden days school room experience
- Watch the Blacksmith at work
- See and sit on old motorbikes
- Wash clothes by hand and hang them on the line
