  • Working as part of a small friendly team to set up for sessions, as well as using and maintaining resources and equipment appropriately, and ensuring that it is returned to its proper storage place after use.

Activities include:

  • Simple crafts and arts tasks;
  • Trails;
  • And other educational activities related to the museum.
