What’s our style?

Posted by: Cat on: September 13, 2010

So you may have noticed that we have changed our look…Depending on how long you have been following the blog, you may realise that we have reverted to the previous style originally adopted for the page.

One of the most popular outreach sessions we deliver is ancient Egypt and in the past academic year we have delivered over 20 sessions in schools across Greater Manchester and had the pleasure of working with some very insightful and imaginative children.

A lovely surprise (and thank you!)

Posted by: Hannah on: June 9, 2010
