New additions to our model aircraft: Sopwith Camel, Fokker and Zeppelin for WWI and a Supermarine Spitfire for WWII (to compare). We have noticed an increase in loans looking a the history of flight, so while these are military planes (bought with funding for a WWI project) we hope they will have a wider use in the classroom.

These are dyed yarns using the plant and animal dyes available in the Tudor era. We have packaged them with examples of the raw dye materal, and info to explain how fabric colours changed in Britain once trade was established with the New World. There are some real dried cochineal insects in this set. We think there is some interesting chemistry potential working with plant dyes. We also have Viking and Medieval sets.

2 Roman hats. The red one is a phrygian cap – associated with the temple of Mithras. This cap was adopted during the French Revolution when it was worn by revolutionaries as the red cap of liberty. The grey hat is a pileus cap – given to freed slaves in Roman times to symbolise their emancipation. It was worn by both slaves and free citizens during the December Saturnalia festival when social hierarchies dissolved into carnival licentiousness. What a lot you can get from a hat! 1 Century, Grey Hat, Emancipation, French Revolution, Wearing A Hat, Iron Age, Everyday Makeup, Winter Time, Revolutionaries

This is a replica Elizabeth I Tudor dress - based on a portrait of her when she was 13. The young wearer here was amazed at how heavy it is and how she had to have someone else to help her to dress and lace up the bodice. We have two of these specially commissioned dresses in the collection which can be part of your loan box. Tudor Dress, Elizabeth I, Bodice, Formal Dresses Long, Beloved, Lace Up, Heavy

Working with original documents. One of our favourite artefacts is this Islington school punishment book 1901-1945. The crimes of the children range from 'sulkiness' and 'gross carelessness' to 'urinating on another boy' or, in the case of poor, hungry Eileen Hall; 'Eating sweets. Denying that she had them. Then refusing to put them in basket'. Deciphering long-forgotten handwriting about everyday life from an original school document brings the classroom and its characters back to life.

Can you pose like Pepys? This costume (made specially for us) is based on the 1666 portrait of Pepys in the National Portrait Gallery. It is a loose fitting silk robe, so can be worn by children from Year 2 upwards. The original costume was so expensive that Pepys could only hire it to wear for the portrait. Many thanks to Ruben for modelling the costume for us with such gravitas on a very hot day! National Portrait Gallery, Silk Robe, Year 2, Hot Days, Expensive, Ruffle Blouse, Costumes, Poses

This a display from a 1960s project we did with a local school - the model vehicles were really popular with the boys. Gender stereotyping we know but it is what got them engaged on the day! The 1960s saw the arrival of the Mini, the VW Beetle, the E-typeJaguar, Vespa, Concorde, Hovercraft and Routemaster bus. We have a range of vehicles from different eras too.
