Laura and her pupils have been part of a series of pilot projects that test the hypothesis that there may be beneficial learning and social outcomes for primary school children and their families if their primary school is located in a museum. One of the pilots situated a Year 1 and a Key Stage 2 class from St Thomas Community Primary School at the National Waterfront Museum. Here, Laura writes about her experience of the pilot and how it has impacted on the school life of her pupils.
