What can we discover about a person from the past?
Pupils explore the ‘archive keep-safe box’, as they discover the different objects and documents inside and what these reveal about a person from the past. Recreating a Victorian photograph, pupils try on replica costumes and have their own photograph taken. They then decorate their own ‘keep-safe box’ to store their photograph and take away with them.
