Activities

150 Million Years in an Hour
Pupils work as history detectives, sorting unlabelled boxed of specimens, as they consider which objects could tell which part of Peterborough's story. With upper KS2, discussions are made on what makes an object ‘valuable’ according to different viewpoints.

Museum Detectives
Explore the Museum building, searching and selecting evidence for the Story of Peterborough, completing a timeline booklet with evidence found. This is an independent activity. We recommend a pre-visit so that we can show you the galleries and talk through this activity.
