The Little Adventurers meet on Monday, June 10th, at the Royal Armouries museum – Fort Nelson for our special ‘Hog Tales’ fun day. This session will allow children to learn more about science through the well-known story of ‘The Three Little Pigs’, but with a Fort Nelson twist. By taking part in Hog Tales at Fort Nelson our Adventurers will:
- Discover what local materials were used to build Fort Nelson.
- Examine the properties of different building materials through discussion and experimentation.
- Experience interactive and fun story-telling.
- Explore over 19-acres of this historic ancient monument.
- Develop their personal, learning and thinking skills through co-operative learning.
Fort Nelson is home to the artillery collection of the Royal Armouries, part of the national museum of arms and armour. The fort has recently undergone a multi-million pound redevelopment. Supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund the fort now has a new visitor centre, new galleries and state-of-the-art education facilities.
We meet at Fort Nelson (by the entrance) at 10:00am. Please wear appropriate clothing should there be any rain and the ground be muddy. Bring along a packed lunch or enjoy a snack, meal or refreshments in the fort café. Although this session runs until 2:00pm families are welcome to leave earlier if they wish.
