Connecting with Melbourne Museum

In order to develop our understanding of museums we have been video conferencing with Cam, the education officer at Melbourne Museum. Cam has been showing us around the museum, talking to us about why the museum is set up the way it is and answering our questions. These conferencing sessions, along with our planned excursions, will help us to develop our own exhibits.

 

Our Princes Hill Primary School Museum

After spending some time exploring what we know about museums and how they work, we are interested in exploring what could contribute to a museum that was dedicated to our school. This week students are being asked to think about what is special or unique about our school and how that could become part of a school museum.
