Northampton Museum and Art Gallery's collection of shoes and shoemaking material is the largest and finest in the world and offers a wide range of opportunities for cross-curricular study.
The Made to Last teaching and learning package is a classroom based, key stage 2, cross curricular project on Victorian shoemaking, focusing on the Northampton shoemakers' dispute of 1859. The subject focus is on History but the pack also contains information, ideas and a range of resources to support work in ICTAC, Literacy, Numeracy and Citizenship.
Museum Workshop
The pack is for independent classroom use but also supports preliminary and post visit work for the Made to Last workshop at the museum.
The workshop allows pupils to explore the characteristic features of Victorian times and find out what impact changes in work had on the lives of real people. In role as shoemakers' children in 1857, the pupils will actively help a Northampton shoemaker discover whether the new machines would put them out of jobs.
