People's History Museum - The Little People's History Museum
The People's History Museum worked with the Monday Funday Club at the Higher Blackley Children's Centre, a practitioner and toddler group. The group worked on activities in the centre related to the idea of going on a journey and made a mixed media map including drawing, college and hand and foot printing. The group visited the museum and were encouraged to explore the galleries and follow the children's interests. Everyone was given a disposable camera to record their experiences of the day. The group had great fun exploring the interactive activities in the museum - making felt banners, building arches, hiding in big baskets and playing with Punch and Judy. The flying colours shadow carousel at the museum captured the groups interest and prompted a lot of discussion about who the shadow figures could be.
Back at the children's centre the group worked on a shadow silhouette window display and were very excited looking at the photos from the disposable cameras. The photos were made in to a beautiful banner which the group decorated to display at their
centre.
