Environment
The Museum has extensive grounds which adapt themselves easily to environmental activities. While our Staff are equipped to lead woodland, lough shore and river studies to highlight aspects of the curriculum for P6 and P7 children, we welcome self-programmed visits to these areas by teachers of older age groups. These activities are especially suitable for residential groups and depend on the time of year, tides and weather conditions. As the curriculum moves into the concept of sustainable development, we intend to continue developing our environmental programmes with social life in the urban and rural areas of the Museum to give children and young people a comprehensive view of the interaction between people and nature and the effects each has upon the other. We also have a self-led geography trail linked with P6 curriculum and a barn owl study in conjunction with the Ulster Wildlife Trust.
KS2 worksheets available on: Waste, Water and Sewage, and Energy, Transport and Pollution
Citizenship
During 2003, National Museums Northern Ireland will be running a Citizenship pilot project for young people. It will use our collections to explore aspects of the new post-primary Citizenship curriculum: diversity and inclusion, equality and social justice, democracy and active participation and human rights and social responsibility.
Programmes will be available for school groups with an emphasis on creative exploration and active learning ods: taking part in a drama in the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum courtroom and discussing social justice issues; working with an artist or songwriter in the Ulster Museum's "Conflict" exhibition; or researching the lives of migrants today and in the past through the archives of the Ulster American Folk Park.
For further information contact Alison Campbell. Telephone +44 (0)28 9390 5270.
Cultural Heritage
The Museum offers excellent opportunities for the study of Cultural Heritage and Home Economics at KS3. Teachers can use the Museum's traditional dwellings to help illustrate cultural influences on family life from 1900 to the present day.
The Museum can accommodate groups of 40-60 students (in groups of 6-8) and their teachers/leaders, cooking soda bread, stew etc. over open-hearth fires.
Must be booked early.
Resources: Cultural Heritage and Home Economics - a work pack developed in conjunction with the South Eastern Education and Library Board (free when booking).
Cost: Normal Museum admission costs apply when teachers lead the activity and bring their own Ingredients.
