Pre-school
Edna has developed sessions explaining the difference between 'old' and 'new' as an introduction to the concept of history.

First / Middle School
A series of 'show and tell' interactive sessions combined with pupils participating in scenarios and / or craft based workshops.

Secondary School
A mixture of 'show and tell' interactive lectures combined with discussion about social responsibility and citizenship. This can include interactive activities which are more appropriate to an older age group.
