Home School with Charnwood Museum

With another lockdown seeing schools closed, we thought we would try and help out with some Home Schooling activities based on our brilliant collections!

We have tried to offer a variety of topics and have also looked at STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) subjects.

We would love to know how you get on with them, so please share how you are getting on with it all on social media!
