For Schools
Here’s a great new resource pack for teachers and parents. It is full of interesting activities for children to do which teaches them about the history of the Dawley area in an engaging way.
This pack is designed to be used with Primary School children in Key Stage 2. There are 8 varied activity cards which give children an opportunity to explore the Dawley Heritage Website at the same time as having some fun whilst learning!
Activities will give an insight into people, places and events in Dawley’s history as well as build on children’s literacy, numeracy, ICT, geography, and history knowledge.
All activity cards and material can be copied and used in school, or indeed at home with parents!
