The event

Something has gone missing from the Anglo-Saxon and Viking Gallery at Norwich Castle! Take on the role of trainee journalists attending a press conference to investigate the disappearance of an artefact.

Interrogate the expert curator and question a police officer at the crime scene. Make notes, try to discover what happened to the missing object, and prepare a draft newspaper report which can be developed back at school.

Learning outcomes

• Use the styles and conventions of journalism to report on an event.
• In non-narrative material, use simple organisational devices (for example, headings and sub-headings).
• Engage with museum objects and environments as sources of inspiration and knowledge.
