They started their day by learning all about how to be a museum curator. Louisa Knight from Windsor Museum talked to the group about what her job involves. She told them all about how she creates the museum displays, carries out research and how she cares for the objects by making sure they are kept in the right conditions and making sure they aren't nibbled on by any annoying museum pests and insects!! The class then asked Louisa lots of questions about her job and about the objects in the museum's collection.
After this the class explored the museum and chose their favourite object on display. They researched all about it by reading the label and asking Louisa questions about it.
Then they used their artistic skills to make a sketch of the object...
and then made a model of it out of clay!
Next time they will become museum curators and create an exhibition of their clay objects!
