"All staff found the box a worthwhile resource. children loved having the opportunity to handle real artefacts....teachers commented that the loan box brought life to local history and gave energy to speaking and listening. It was refreshing to see the children so enthusiastic, (even LFC fans), and they remained focused on the task for the whole session". (Anne Mason, Learning Mentor, Hope Vallery Community Primary)
