Primary Learning Package

Learning Packages: Designed by you

All of our individually designed workshops and sessions are intrinsically linked to our collections. This means that in the main they focus on Art, Geography, History and Science as well as literacy and numeracy.

The Trust appreciate that learning is best approached in a cross curricular way, using themes as a starting point. We have developed a series of packages with this in mind. Each package is designed around a theme, some may have a strong art focus, whilst others may have a more earth science focus, but all have a variety of subjects and learning styles within them.

The workshops in this package are designed to be used as stand alone sessions, as full day workshops taken sequentially or with sessions from other packages. All workshop information is available to be downloaded below:

We are pleased to announce the launch of the new 'Charmed' Learning Package to support the 'Fears, Foes & Faeries' exhibition. The new ‘Charmed’ Learning Package offers teachers the opportunity to engage their pupils in the collection of charms and amulets collected by William James Clarke, a Scarborough natural historian and curator of the Rotunda Museum during the First World War. The collection of tiny objects featured were used as tools to protect and to cure their owner—moles feet for the cure of toothache; a fox’s tongue to avert witchcraft and a caul to protect fishermen from drowning, are amongst the fascinating collection of over 500 charms and amulets.
