What's in a name?

Hello. The Education Team at Bushey Museum have prepared some interesting activities designed for primary aged children to do over the 2020 Summer Holidays. These activities are about 'Place Names in Bushey'. There are 6 activities: your can either do them in order, starting with No. 1 - or start by picking any one as you wish!

  • If you are doing them as part of your schools summer holiday activities, then please hand your work to your teacher.
  • If you are doing them as an individual, you can post your work through the Bushey Museum's letter box. The Education Team will be delighted to read it! And if you would like it to be returned to you, then please do include a stamped addressed envelope as well.
