Live stream: Roman skeleton secrets

Advanced booking required. Please complete the booking process online using your school's address. You only need to book one ticket for your whole class. You will be sent a booking confirmation with a link to join the live stream. Use this link to join the live stream on the day and time of your booking.

Please have the following information ready for booking:

• your school address
• your school email address and phone number
• number of pupils who will be watching the live stream from your school

Please make sure you have the following:

• a computer connected to a screen (such as an interactive whiteboard) for students to see the live stream
• speakers for students to hear the audio
• Access to another screen from which a member of teaching staff can enter comments and questions into a chat box
• access to Vimeo live video – we know that some schools block Vimeo so please check with your IT technician whether this will be possible
• a member of teaching staff available to facilitate the session for the children

Once you have your equipment set up, you’re ready to go. The live stream does not assume any subject knowledge, and key terminology and concepts will be explained and discussed as they come up. You can just press play on the day and enjoy the experience with your class.

You’ll join the stream using the link provided in your confirmation email. London Museum staff will lead the session live from the museum, and while you’ll be able to see them, your class will not be visible on camera.

The stream is an interactive opportunity for your pupils to ask questions to an expert from the museum. Questions are written in the chat box, asked by our on-screen host and answered live. Alongside the Q&A we’ll be watching some videos, handling objects and playing some true or false myth-buster games.

For Roman Skeleton Secrets our expert is Jelena Bekvalac, a curator at London Museum. A curator is a specialist who uses the objects in the museum collection to learn about the past. Jelena’s specialism is in Human Osteology, the study of human bones.

This live stream is aimed at pupils in key stage 2.

Despite careful planning and practice, it's possible that we might have technical issues while running the stream. We'll do our best to make things right, but we also recommend that you have your own ICT support on hand to help in case there are issues with your equipment or setup.

Yes – by using the same link, you'll be able to access your stream for 30 days.
