1. Loan Boxes – Delivered free with kind support from DHL
The Mary Rose has free outreach boxes for use by mainstream schools and special schools nationwide. The packs have been designed for use by children who are unable to visit the Mary Rose Museum at the Historic Dockyard in Portsmouth, Hampshire. One pupil said: ‘I thought the artefacts were amazing. It was fun guessing their uses and their names.’
Mary Rose Outreach Box – based on members of the ship’s crew these boxes contain 15 replica artefacts as well as real rope and wood, plus additional resources such as books, posters and a teacher’s manual. These boxes are administered by education authorities spread around the United Kingdom. For those areas without a box contact the Mary Rose Trust direct. (See below Booking an Outreach Box)
Mary Rose Special Needs Outreach Box – based on two themes old/new and rich/poor these boxes contain replica objects and other sensory resources including smells and music. A teacher’s manual includes information, line drawings, symbol-supported text for pupils plus ideas for lessons for pupils at levels P1-8 and L1+. Please contact the Mary Rose Museum directly for these boxes: Trevor Sapey, Mary Rose Trust, College Rd, HM Naval Base, Portsmouth, PO1 3LX. Tel: 02392 750521.
Add another dimension to work with your box with a Question and Answer session using Skype! See section 2.
