Morpeth Museum offers two primary school programs which have curriculum outcomes in the New South Wales Syllabus, The Past in the Present. Take a fun excursion to Morpeth Museum where children can take part in the rewarding ‘Treasures, Trial and Time’ program. Alternatively, let a Morpeth Museum representative come to your school for a free presentation called The Past in the Present – second generation.
At the Museum – ‘Treasures, Trial and time’
- Hunt down the ‘treasures’ using issued bookmarks as clues (12 in total). See the old Bookmark Stamp Machine as part of the Post Office Display. This gives students the opportunity to find the treasures of the past and compare them with their equivalent today.
- Put the Mopreth Couthouse bench to the test with a unique mock trial, full trial with witnesses.
- Visit the holding cell and do ‘time’.
