The Second World War, the Aztecs and the
Egyptians as well as natural history provided inspiration for
the winning entries in the 2003 Museum in the Classroom Awards.
Eleven schools around the country received an award of £250
each towards a school trip to a museum for their Museums in
the Classroom projects. Primary schools from as far apart as
Berwick upon Tweed and Wedmore in Somerset took part.
The award-winning schools were congratulated
by Charles Saumarez Smith, Director of the National Gallery,
and Co-Chairman of Museums and Galleries Month, who chaired
the judging panel. "The entries were all extremely inspiring
and showed a great deal of creativity in their presentation
and also in the involvement of the children in the projects.
We have decided to commend three of the eleven schools whose
entries were exceptional."
