Leeds Museums and Galleries Primary School Membership Scheme 2021-22 Leeds Museums and Galleries Primary School Membership Scheme 2021-22 We know cross-curricular object based arts and cultural learning raises attainment in primary pupils. • Participation in structured arts and cultural activities can increase cognitive abilities by 17%, meaning they become better at learning to learn 1 • Learning through arts and culture improves attainment in Maths and English2 • Students from low-income families who take part in arts and cultural activities at school are three times more likely to get a degree3 Leeds Museums and Galleries (LMG) are committed to giving as many children as possible access to object learning whether that’s in the classroom or on visits to museums and galleries. We also recognise that teachers’ time is precious, and we want to make systems streamlined as possible. Primary School Membership Our Primary School Membership scheme gives you access to object loans for your classroom, workshops across our 9 museums, support with resourcing and curriculum planning, and CPD packages. Our primary school membership scheme includes all you need to increase access to object based and cultural capital rich learning. There are three membership packages: Bronze, Silver and Gold. These have been developed in consultation with primary teachers in the city, piloted in Leeds schools, and are based on the services we know people use, or would like to, across Leeds Museums and Galleries and the city. Leeds Museums and Galleries hold 1.3 million objects in trust. We say all objects can be handled given proper risk assessment of people, place and object. This is highly unusual in museums, as most services have separate, unaccessioned object handling collection for schools use. We have accessioned the best of the Artemis collection to become part of the main LMG collection. This means that your school will have access to the whole collection, rather than just a selection of objects. 1 Culture and Sport Evidence Review (2010) p29 2 US study: Catterall (2012) p12; supported by UK study: Taylor et al (2015) p88 and LMG SEND (2015-17) 3 US study: Catterall (2012), p14-16 Loans are for a half term at a time, and teachers must collect and return boxes to either the Leeds Discovery Centre (Hunslet), Leeds Industrial Museum (Armley), Abbey House Museum (Kirkstall), Leeds City Museum (City centre) or Temple Newsam House. Extra boxes can be borrowed at an additional one off cost of £60 for membership schools. Included in all tiers of membership: • Annual all staff training session on best practice object based learning, new research, impacts on practice and local resources • Discounts on bespoke LMG teacher CPD sessions (virtual or face to face) • Priority access for inclusion in special projects (including artist-led programmes) • Assistance and support with cultural and curriculum planning including local history, diversity and Arts Award / Artsmark (as Artsmark Partners) • Annual opportunities to help LMG develop and shape our schools programme Membership is for the whole school and will run from 1 September – 31 August each year. Packages can be purchased directly through [email protected] or through Leeds for Learning. Bronze membership £550 per year Also included in Bronze: • 6 object loans boxes per year • 2 workshop credits (one 1.5-2hr workshop, or two 1 hour virtual/KS1 workshops) • 1 whole school/year group assembly (20 mins) Each flight case sized loan box will contain around six curated objects based on popular National Curriculum themes, and Leeds Curriculum stories. Objects will be pre-selected by Learning Officers and Curators to give you the best possible resource and the greatest amount of flexibility. Supporting resources written by learning professionals, teachers and pupils can be found on mylearning.org (this may include: object information, additional films, 3D images, and suggested cross curricular classroom activities), or through the Museum From Home box linked videos and resources available on our website, museumsandgalleries.leeds.gov.uk.

  • Volunteering Is Great for People and Communities As Well As Nature
    This book was created as part of the Hollybush Histories project in 2019, run by the Friends of Hollybush and funded through the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The stories and information have been gathered by volunteers during the project and cover the time from before Hollybush came into being, through to the present day. These stories have become part of an archive of the Hollybush Story which will be preserved by the Friends of Hollybush for future generations to enjoy. This book is three times the size originally planned and could easily have been twice again; we apologise if your story wasn't selected or your favourite picture hasn't been included. The website www.friendso�ollybush.org.uk has the full original stories and until March 2025 will allow you to add your own story to the collection. The silk paintings that feature in this booklet are based on a collection of current and historic photos of Hollybush, and were created as part of a workshop with Year 6 pupils, led by artists Helen Thomas and Tony Wade. The workshop took place at Hollybush Primary School, which is on Broad Lane in Kirkstall, in July 2019. Book design: Charlie Wells Book editing: John Preston and Charlie Wells First print funded thanks to: ISBN: 978-0-9930192-1-0 Publisher: Ossett Observer First Published: January 2020 Copyright: Friends of Hollybush, all rights reserved Printed in the UK on 100% recycled paper Hollybush Histories 1979 - 2019 40 years of stories from the Hollybush Conservation Centre Rear of Hollybush from the road, silk painting by Karoline at Hollybush Primary School Time for Tea, silk painting by Amierose at Hollybush Primary School 1 Kirkstall Brewery and yards (now Hollybush yards) in 1919.

  • Learning Outside of the Classroom and the Role It Plays in Enhancing and Enriching a Broad and Balanced Curriculum
    Learning outside of the Classroom and the role it plays in enhancing and enriching a broad and balanced curriculum. As you embark on your journey to become a teacher, you will consider learning that takes place in different contexts, whether that be through the outdoors or in another setting, such as a Museum or Gallery. Why learning “Any area beyond the classroom, whether it is a field, a woodland or public park, is a product of its history, outside of its geography and of people.” the Kelly and Cutting (2011) classroom? So when planning a Broad and Balanced Curriculum, that encompasses a plethora of subject areas, as Practitioners we should consider where the learning best takes place. Over the last couple of years, more than ever, we have probably reflected and appreciated the places that are on our doorstep. We want to take you on a whistle-stop tour of a variety of different learning spaces in and around Leeds, that would be excellent in supporting learning through a broad and balanced curriculum. Please also add your suggestions to the slides for future reference. On our Before you begin, please read the Learning outside the Classroom (2006) manifesto that will help you understand why these experiences are so valuable. Doorstep…. https://www.lotc.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/G1.-LOtC-Manifesto.pdf As you view these slides, and read the information provided, it would be beneficial for you to jot down any learning opportunities that spring to mind. Perhaps you may have the opportunity to visit some of these venues over the summer, (depending on restrictions).
