This month we were approached by Helen Findlay from Hungerford Primary School with a wonderful idea and small request. Helen asked if we would be interested in loaning a variety of antique or vintage items that could be used in a staff meeting some educational fun!
The idea was to have approximately 20 or so items that would be hidden from the staff in pillow cases so they couldn’t see what the item was. Firstly the staff had to try and guess what the item was or what it could be simply through feeling it in the pillow case.
We supplied a mixture of objects for the staff to use. Some were easy to guess and some not so easy! Anything from heavy Victorian Irons, Stoneware Hot Water Bottles and Copper Bed Pans to Vintage Horse Chogs, Ale Warmers and even a Victorian game of Quoits!
The Bed Pan being too large for a pillow case was therefore described in detail by Dave Mayer (Headmaster) to Matt Lambert (Year 4 Teacher). The idea being that Matt had to draw the item without seeing it based on the description given, then guess what the item was.
It sounds like a lot of fun was had and what a great idea for something different to do for a staff meeting.
We are delighted to have been part of this at the Hungerford Arcade and very much look forward to doing it again in the future, well done Hungerford Primary!
