Home Ed Day - Tuesday 22 April
Join us on the 22 April for a bespoke Home Education Morning. We are running two workshops - KS1 Prehistoric Detectives and KS2 Skeletons.
To support your time in the galleries, download and print our self-guided tours or gallery trails. We have clipboards and pencils which you can use.
KS1: Prehistoric Detectives, 10.30–11.15
Delve into prehistoric life and become detectives. Explore what the Earth was like around the age of the dinosaurs, what other animals existed and how we know about them. Then get hands on and investigate real fossils and identify what they are in our challenge.
Please note there are no dinosaurs on permanent display at Tring.
Curriculum links:
- describe and compare the structure of a variety of common animals
- explore and compare things that are living, dead and things that have never been alive

Lower KS2: Skeletons, 11.30-12.15
