What's On

Museum Project Presentation Evening, Friday 20th June, 4.30 - 6.30pm

We are delighted to announce our Museum Project Presentation evening this year.  Our Year Nines  have spent many months working on individual research projects on a range of aspects of museums. The students are finishing their essays and artefacts, and preparing to present to the public at the presentation evening on Friday 20th June, at Cheney School, from 4.30 - 6.30pm. 
 
Projects this year have included the Elgin Marbles, how to tell the history of an object, restoration of objects, robots in museums, attracting young people to museums, sports in museums, female representation in museum exhibits, Greek mythology and museums, representing the Vikings in museums, how paid access affects museums, using replicas in museums, ethics of museums collecting plants, reconstructing dinosaurs in museums, science fiction and museums, interactivity in museums, and toys and museums. 
 
All ages are welcome to attend. There will be refreshments and you can drop in at any time. The students' projects are being entered as part of the AQA Higher Project, so they will be being marked on their presentations and how they answer questions.
