OLD HUTTON...

Tullie House Museum has been able to provide some new and exciting workshops aimed especially at the younger children in primary schools. To encourage children to look beyond themselves and as part of a multi-cultural experience, Priya Sundar explored Diwali using dance and storytelling.

The children loved the animal actions and being able to ask Priya questions about her costume and her culture. The dancing was enthusiastically enjoyed. 
Class four enjoyed a superb science lesson with Miss Brownsord. They learned about gravity and air resistance by making their own paper helicopters.

They then adapted the length of the tail to investigate what effect it had on their designs and repeated their investigation outside for a comparison. 
The pre-school and playgroup are getting very excited about their silent auction, which runs until the end of November.
