Self – led Handling Resource

Our self-led Adventurous Stewarts Handling Collection for KS1/KS2 contains original and replica objects from the museum collection. Students can discuss important topics, track the Stewart family across the globe, and explore other cultures along the way.  

Curriculum links:

• Chronological work including comparing the similarities and differences between life now and in the past.
• Investigation primary and secondary sources and understand the methods of historical enquiry.
• Discover new geographic regions and cultures.
• Local history projects.
• Glossary work: gain and deploy a historically grounded understanding of abstract terms such as ’empire’ and ‘civilisation’.
• Gain historical perspective by helping children to develop an understanding of the connections between local, regional, national and international history, and between cultural, economic, military, political, religious and social history.
