Planning Your Theme
‘Museums in a Box across the curriculum planning matrix' helps you to mind-map your initial ideas into curriculum areas and ensure it is cross-curricular.
Embedding the Museums in a Box Project
The ‘Step-by-Step Guide’ download is designed to help you plan how you will timetable the Museum in a Box project into your half-term. This also highlights the areas of developing your museum which Heritage Learning will lead on and which areas you will need to plan and lead on. Please see the ‘What is the Museums in a Box Project?’ page for detailed notes on what the sessions led by Heritage Learning will involve and the ‘Creating Your Mini-Museum’ page for ideas of how to develop your mini-museum.
