Nevertheless, the museum is once again open for tours. Trips such as this would be ideal when teaching Primary School History. It allows the students to explore outside of the classroom and delve into further detail. ]]> 2021-05-18 14:49:56 UTC https://padlet.com/w19027513/hfelnkn66xruphun/wish/1535932136 w19027513 https://padlet.com/w19027513/hfelnkn66xruphun/wish/1535947479 Books can be used in all classrooms in a variety of ways. For those in my focus age group, 3-7, reading a storybook aloud to the class is always an exciting activity.
