Using Institutions - The National Archives
In this programme two schools use the resources available at National Archives for different learnings.
Children from Shinewater Primary School, in Eastbourne, take a virtual visit to the centre at Kew, in London to support their studies of the KS2 history syllabus.
In the morning, the primary pupils use the National Archives website, the Learning Curve, to find out all about the court of King Henry VIII and life in Tudor times.
In the afternoon they take part in a video conference where they learn about the importance of Tudor symbols and how to read Tudor handwriting.
Meanwhile, a group of GCSE students from Harvington School, Ealing visit the centre for a workshop on the suffragette movement as part of their history course.
