We launched #BSW25 @Discovery_Mus with our annual STEAM careers fair. More than 250 children joined us in the Great Hall to learn and ask questions about different career journeys, skills and opportunities. #STEAMLearning
We did it again! Another @Discovery_Mus Buggy Park the length of Turbinia #EarlyYearsInMuseums

It has been a while but the @gemnortheast team are now back on X. We have been busy planning more exciting events & networking opportunities for the year ahead. Keep your eyes peeled for more information in due course. But for now let’s re-introduce the GEM North East Reps (1/8)
I visited a major museum on my ‘to visit’ list last week. @mfnberlin was incredible; dinosaurs, taxidermy, crystals & minerals. I found myself saying ‘wow’ in every gallery.
My other favourite from half-term @Discovery_Mus - a Lego @NUFC stadium! ⚽️
Newcastle-upon-Tyne was granted city status on 3rd June 1882, and last week, for the anniversary, families built a Lego city, designed buildings & created city coat of arms #LearningInMuseums
Last week for May half-term @Discovery_Mus we welcomed more than 400 people to play trains in our Great Hall. Giant tracks, ride on engines, colouring in, dressing up and trains galore! #MuseumPlay
A couple of weeks ago our Easter holiday ‘Discover a Story’ EY sessions @Discovery_mus were very popular! We enjoyed reading Bird Builds a Nest, Mr Bunny’s Chocolate Factory and Ten Little Pirates with songs, games, crafts and play in the Great Hall #EYFSInMuseums
Looking forward to a busy few weeks @Discovery_Mus in our upcoming weekly, EYFS Tiny Sparks sessions for little ones aged 3-5, and their carers.
Last half-term we had fun exploring building and construction, floating and sinking, seasons and forces!
