Comments from Teachers :

Littleport School: "a great cross-curricular day with hands-on science and living history which brought the local area to life for the children"

St Albans School, Cambridge: "I was amazed by how incredibly motivated the children were by the practical science activities, also by the way they took in so much information from the re-enactments. I will definitely aim to bring future years to the museum. The children loved it and learned a lot about a very important local subject."
