Comments
We arrived and were given a wonderful tour of the museum. The children were all really interested in all of the artefacts and displays and asked a lot of questions! Later on, we enjoyed a workshop about old toys – and very exciting that they got to play with some.
They had lots of fun and also enjoyed a nice walk there and back to school.
