Learning Officers here - bringing you information on learning activities at Saddleworth Museum, High St, Uppermill, Oldham, OL3 6HS (open every day 1-4pm).
We can't run our Magic Monday session this afternoon due to #Covid_19 but we can put together some of our favourite Easter themed crafts for you. Links to individual activities below. #crafts#kidsathome#sanitysaver
Friday 8th May marks the 75th Anniversary of VE Day. We want you to help us & @tmbc_culture celebrate by learning a dance routine. Film yourself performing it and share on social media using #danceforvictory You can find the tutorial video here: https://t.co/4F62S2W7bb
We’ve been sent a number of virtual museum activities for under 5s so we thought we’d round them up in a Twitter thread.
Have you got an activity to share? Let us know and we’ll add it to the thread. @EYMuseumNetwork

We love this template for making Easter Bunnies that we found on Pinterest. Just print it off, colour it in and stick it onto a brightly painted toilet roll tube - we know you have loads of these stashed away!
What about these simple yet effective eggs from It All Started With Paint? All you need is some yellow paint and felt tips for their beaks & eyes! https://t.co/Q2VMRLsCPS
Have a rummage through those cupboards and if you have a doily or even a paper plate then Easy Peasy and Fun have had this brilliant idea! https://t.co/ma0mESG3fM
Local museums help you realise that things actually happened exactly where you live! We found this set of gas mask instructions from Saddleworth’s ARP; AB Glasspool - anyone know him? Printed by Taylor & Clifton who are still going strong in #Uppermill today!
Another interesting day in the archive curating items for our #WorldWar Two Loan Box. Can’t wait to have these put together and ready for #schools! 🏷📜📦🔍📚
It’s time for another #ThrowbackThursday delve into the archives! Here’s a #photo from 1950, 70 years ago! If you recognise anyone in the photo, please let us know! (Thanks to John Redfearn for sharing the photo)
Huge thank you to @StChadsCE for donating their collection of Pelham Puppets (1947 - 1993) to the museum! Our volunteers have been working hard & now our ‘puppet show’ is ready. Museum open daily 1pm - 4pm.
Our Learning Officer, Olivia, is currently knee deep in the archive putting together Loan Boxes. Her favourite object so far to include in our Victorians loan box is this. Do you know what it is?
I've decided to start writing a blog about the work I am doing behind the scenes. It's much more interesting than just making a brew, trust me.....
And myself as editor have more of a role to play than just churning out posts of good will. kindness and https://t.co/FKeLIFLrtr
