We are pleased to launch our new Loans Boxes, which will help you bring history to life in the classroom.
We have four loans boxes available on a fortnightly basis.
This box is packed with replicas and costumes to support in-class teaching of the Anglo-Saxons. Immerse your group with replicas that will take you on a journey through the ‘Dark Ages’, from the arrival of the Angles, Saxons and Jutes, through the creation of the Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms and the Golden Age of Northumbria.
This box contains the following items:
- Tunic and belt
- Dress
- Replica coins
- Drop Spindle and wool
- Drinking Horn
- Clay Cooking pot
- Fire striker
- Chainmail sample
- Anglo-Saxon games
This box explores the life of St Bede and other monks living within the Christian Monasteries that are established throughout the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. The class will explore life as a monk, by experiencing some of the most important tools and crafts first hand.
This box contains the following items:
- Monks’ Habit, belt and cross necklace
- Quills
- Goose feathers
- Vellum
- Ink ingredients (cloves, gum arabic, oak galls)
This box contains a range of replicas to give your students a glimpse at the Viking world, from raiding warbands, to traders and explorers. Allow your class to handle a collection of replicas that will take them on a journey around the known world!
This box contains a range of resources designed to give your students a glimpse into life as a farmer throughout much of pre-modern life.
How to book a loans box:
Our Loans Boxes are available for schools to book for two weeks at a charge of £50.
The Loans Box can be collected from the Jarrow Hall Museum Reception Desk – upon booking you will be allocated a collection date.
We will give you a return date for the Loans Box, this is usually two weeks after the collection date unless you have requested a different date. There may be a small charge for late returns.
If you are concerned that you cannot return the Loans Box on-time, please do get in-touch and we will do our best to help you.
We recommend arranging to collect the Loans Box over a weekend to ensure that you have it for two school weeks.
