We have designed a range of fun, activity sheets for children of all abilities to use at the Museum. You can download these sheets here and bring as many as you like along to the Museum.

To help you choose the right sheets the sheets have been coded.

KS1 M = These sheets are suitable for children aged 5-7. You have a choice of sheets. 3 of the sheets would occupy your child for around an hour.

KS2 M = These sheets are suitable for children aged 8-11. You can shorten the sheets by not including the last page. Alternatively you could just print out the last section of each detective trail.
