Transcript of 2013-14-ks1-and-ks2-programme
The National Coal Mining Museum for England tells the
story of coal mining and its communities. Set in a real
colliery, the Museum brings to life the history of one of
the country’s oldest industries.
A visit to our free Museum can be organised to enhance
and inspire learning in a number of subject areas.
The education team is more than happy to assist you in
planning a visit to suit the requirements of your pupils.
Underground tour
This is the highlight of any school visit
and is a must-do activity. With a
former coal miner as their personal
guide, pupils ride the cage 140 metres
underground to discover first-hand
what life was like as a miner. See
inside to find out about our different
tour options for schools.
Explore authentic
pit buildings
See our steam winding engine in
action, visit the pithead baths where
a miner’s shift started and finished,
or see the ponies in the stables.
Sights, sounds and smells combine
to give each original pit building its
own unique atmosphere.
Galleries and exhibitions
Our galleries and exhibition spaces
show the history of coal mining
and get to the heart of mining
communities, homes and families.
Our changing special exhibitions
programme means there is always
something new to discover.
Nature trail and reed beds
Visit the reed beds and find out how
the Museum’s innovative water-
treatment plant cleans iron-rich
minewater pumped from
underground. Follow the nature trail
and see for yourself how the old
colliery spoil tip has been regenerated
into mixed woodland, providing a
habitat for wildlife, plants and trees.
Hope Pit
How did miners get down the shaft?
How did they breathe underground?
How did they power their machines?
Interactive displays and multimedia
science exhibits explore science
and technology concepts in a real-life
industrial context.
Self-guided visits
You are welcome to organise
a self-guided visit and we have
a number of resources available
to help you do this, including
a KS1 and KS2 gallery trail.
These are available on request
or can be downloaded from
our website:www.ncm.org.uk/learningContact the education team
to arrange a preliminary visit.
School workshops

staff can facilitate interactive,
curriculum-based learning
experiences for your class.

NATIONAL COAL MINING MUSEUM
for England
Education Programme KS1 & KS2
Make Sense of Mining
The underground tour is always the highlight of
any school visit. The Museum is now able to
offer to schools a choice of underground tours,
all of which are led by a former miner and last
about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Meet a Miner
Subject focus: KS1, KS2, all subjects
Available: 7 days a week
Cost: Underground tour is free
Duration: 1 hour 20 minutes
This chronological tour will enable
pupils to discover mining through the
ages, as the guide takes them on a
journey through mining history from
the early 1800s, when whole families
including young children worked
together underground, right through
mechanisation up to the present day.
This tour is a great introduction
to coal mining, and works well
alongside all the schools’ workshops
on offer, as well as for any
self-led visits.
Hands-On History
Subject focus: KS1, KS2,
with strong links to History
Available: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday
Cost: Underground tour is free,
living history workshops cost £25
per session (17 pupils per session)
Duration: 1 hour 20 minutes
A history-focused tour that will give
pupils the chance to get their hands
dirty as they take on the roles of the
trapper, thruster and hurrier in a 19th
century mining family and have a go at
‘feeding’, ‘mucking out’ and harnessing
the model horses in the underground
stables. Pupils will also experience
lighting through the ages, from the
pitch dark of an unlit coal mine right
through to modern electric lighting.
This interactive tour can be
booked in conjunction with one
of our surface workshops, such asSam/Sally Fletcher ‘It’s a HardLife’ or Sir Humphry Davy andthe Flame Safety Lamp.Ask a member of our education
team, or speak to the bookings
officer for more details.
Subterranean Science
Subject focus: KS2,
with strong links to Science
Available: Wednesday, Friday
Cost: Underground tour is free,
living history workshops cost £25
per session (17 pupils per session)
Duration: 1 hour 20 minutes
A science focused tour that looks at
two important aspects of science in
mining: lighting and earth-science. The
darkness of the underground provides
the perfect setting to experiment with
light, and pupils will be able to get
hands-on to see how light only travels
in straight-lines as well as looking at
how colours are filtered. Pupils will
also get the chance to see
underground rock formations, and to
identify common rocks and fossils
found in the Coal Measures.
This interactive tour works well
with our workshops: Coal Seam:Time Machine and Sir HumphryDavy and the Flame SafetyLamp. It also supports the Rocks trail.
