Back to my childhood..

Just a little update on the museum exhibition assignment... As I've mentioned in an earlier post, we decided to create rooms which are made into different environments such as the dessert and the Arctic for primary children to explore..but we decided this was a bit too complicated as we only had one room to do this in. We have now decided to make three pods in our room and inside these pods will be a dessert; which will imitate an actual dessert by the use of heat, light and obviously sand. The second with be the rainforest and this will be similar to the desert as we will have a complete rainforest environment with a very humid feel and sounds coming from all directions but the children will not be able to see where these sounds are coming from...muha. The third will be the Arctic and this will be less visual and more feel as we will make the room completely white and freezing but at the end we will show a video of the northern lights on one of the walls :-) You're probably thinking it sounds good but wont the children get bored? Well we thought this as well but we came up with a narrative for the children to follow.

The Story will be about Andy the adventurer (see what we did there) and he has gone missing while exploring these places. We will send a missing poster to the schools of the children that are going to attend explaining that we want them to come and find him by following his tracks and picking up clues. So, the children will go around exploring and answering questions (which are sent to the teachers before the exhibition for the children to learn) to come up with the clues that will eventually find Andy, then at the end Andy will give the children some sort of goody bag of thing he has discovered on his travels! To present our exhibition  we have made models which I will put a picture up below, a presentation, a teachers pack and I created the rooms on Photoshop, which I am rather proud of!

Here's the missing poster too!
