Newsletter Summer 2009
During the Spring Term 2009 …..
578 children enjoyed the services of the Education Department at
the Museum, like these children from Awliscombe Primary looking at
‘Toys’.
"Thoroughly enjoyed by all and the children were
telling the bus driver and Head teacher all about it as
soon as they could – all at the same time".
