Aim:
To familiarise children above seven years old, (Key Stage 1), with aspects of Melton's local history.

Objective:
To enable children to find focused local history facts from the Melton area, from visiting Melton museum.

Resources:
A - Z quiz sheets depicting ordered letters of the alphabet with part-missing captions in sentence form. Clipboards and pencils.

Method:
Allow children to briefly look around the museum and ensure that they are aware of subject themes of objects housed in each gallery.

Show children the A - Z sheet, explaining its written format and challenge them to explore the museum carefully. They should look for appropriate information from the objects displayed to enable them to complete each sentence, related to a letter of the alphabet. For example, 'A is for -----(Andrew), Mr Carnegie's first name.'

Give any assistance as necessary, whilst allowing children to extract relevant details as needed for themselves.

When sheets are completed, inform children of correctly-completed A - Z sentences and allow children to compare these with their own.
