Launch Explore Energise Celebrate Children will take a walk around their local area (Middleton) to spot houses built by Edgar Woods. They will stop to complete observational drawings and complete a Map Bingo activity, ticking off local monuments that they come across. We will stop for a picnic at a local park Local. During picnic, the children will share what they like/dislike about their locality and what makes it special.

The children will explore the life and works of Edgar Woods. They will design and make houses out of recycled materials in the style of Edgar Woods. They will create timelines of landmarks from around Middleton. They will develop their map skills and locate specific places on a local map. They will explore the work of LS Lowry and mimic his style to become artists themselves.

Follow our Creative Questers into the Museum to explore how toys and games have changed (or stayed the same) from Victorian times to present day! Hunt for objects, solve questions and record their findings. Bring in old toys from home
