The English 'Communication' Workshop links to the National Curriculum. In 2003 the Museum's Education Officer worked with local schoolteachers to create a workshop devised by teachers for teachers and their pupils. The three-hour workshop consists of six mini workshops and is run in the Museum's Vehicle Hall. If your group wishes to extend their visit they will be able to enjoy the Museum's Main Display Area in the afternoon.

| Bug Hunt We have a bug infestation! Working in small groups and using a tally, pupils must find as many bugs as possible hidden on the vehicles. |
|
| Old Documents Workshop Pupils handle real documents and use them to find the answers to questions; ie 'What was the name of the pantomime? |
Field Telephones and Morse Code Workshop Using British Army Field Telephones, pupils speak to their partners to find out information about them. Pupils will also learn how to send and receive Morse Code. This workshop is run by the Education Officer. |
| International Flag Code Workshop Working in pairs, pupils send and decode letters of the alphabet using Flag Code. Colouring sheets of the International Flag Code are provided. |
Graphs and Wheels Workshop Using a tally, pupils count the number of vehicles in the hall with wheels or tracks. These data are transferred to a bar chart either at the Museum or back in the classroom. |
| Simple Labels Workshop Pupils write simple labels for a variety of Museum objects and arrange them to form a display. A digital photograph can be taken of this and e-mailed to your school. |
Shadow Puppets Workshop Pupils make their own caterpillar puppets to use in the Museum's Shadow Theatre. Working in pairs, pupils perform a mimed play. The rest of the group must guess the plot. |
