The
atmosphere created by the Museum teacher will be as authentically Victorian
as possible. Each part of the total experience will be a taster of the
longer school day and will be both informative and enjoyable for the
children to take part in. The better prepared they are, the more
comfortable they will be in tackling a very different experience.
The
lesson programme will adapt to the aptitude of the children participating.
The lesson duration is designed to last approximately 45 minutes. The
school room will hold a maximum of 15 children seated.
