Unit 9gen: Visiting a museum, gallery or site

QCA
About this unit
This unit provides a structure for a visit to a museum, gallery or site, or any visit outside school. The visit would be most effectively used at the start or in the middle of a unit of work, so that work back at school can be based on the information and experience acquired. If it is used at the end of a unit, it can round off work in an enjoyable and exciting way, but to be effective, children must be able to see it as the culmination of what they have been learning.
