Borrow a Loan Box

Loan boxes are a great way to inspire children in the classroom by learning through objects and hands-on activities.

Our resources have been designed to support teachers to bring the past to life and encourage class discussion and creative thinking skills in different subjects.

Every loan box links to the National Curriculum and includes a mix of teacher notes, original and/or replica objects for handling, with a resource pack of worksheets and suggested activities.

The following boxes are available to collect from Cornerstone for loan for up to half a term or a minimum of two weeks.

WWI Local Heroes
Vikings
Roman Everyday Life
Ancient Egypt
Victorian Life
Local Treasures
Tudors Life and Costume

We are currently developing our resources with teachers, so individual boxes may become unavailable at different times of the year.
