EDUCATION Should you be thinking of places to visit with your class, The James Hall Museum of Transport is a must. Transport is a theme which recurs throughout the South African School Syllabus. A visit to the Museum can be valuable in reinforcing and illuminating what has been taught in the classroom. Guided tours are given from Tuesdays to Fridays from 9:30am to groups of +-60. Orientation talks are given to groups of more than 60. Any age is welcome, but special tours have been devised for Grade II to Junior High School students in accordance with the school syllabus. Tours are interactive, enabling children to climb onto certain vehicles and to role-play various situations. Each tour is followed by a lunch break after which worksheets (SEE BELOW) are completed under the teachers' supervision. Arrangements can be made for rides on the Museum's Penny Farthings, London bus, ox-wagon or fire engine. The Museum has a shop where various goods relating to the display are on sale. Cold-drinks are on sale at the vending machine. Each child should bring along a packed lunch. Lunch packs, at a cost of R25.00 each, are available from the museum on telephonic request. Each pack includes a hot - dog, a fruit juice, a chocolate and a packet of crisps.
