Welwyn and Hatfield Museums can help you get the most from your visit and add an exciting dimension to your teaching. The school workshops have been designed to complement the national curriculum and are suitable for reception through to Year 6 and beyond. All workshops can be adapted to suit the individual needs of your pupils The sessions are extremely 'hands on' and are based on the use of real objects from the social history collection and archaeological material from local excavations. The collections can also support a visit around a specific teaching topic. Please contact the Education Officer, Lynn Forrest, on 01707 357850 or email museum@welhat.gov.uk for more information or to discuss your visit itinerary.
The museum has three galleries with interactive displays to discover, a small gift shop and a dedicated study area for taught sessions. There are beautiful gardens that are great fun to explore with plenty of picnic tables. Welwyn Roman Baths Here you will discover how the Romans bathed without soap but still got clean. Beautifully preserved under the A1M in a tunnel this bathhouse was part of a large Roman villa. A visit includes a guided tour of the site with lots of hands on activities. Each site can be visited independently;however Welwyn Roman Baths is only five miles to the north of Mill Green so many schools combine the Roman handling session at Mill Green Museum and Mill with a visit to the Baths to make a great value school-day trip Themed school visits: (see full school brochure top right) |
