Infants in the Old Operating Theatre Museum

I gave a talk to a infant class today from Deptford. Very sweet they were and listened. It was a little hard to do as not so used to giving talks in the Crypt - the Operating Theatre is so good for storytelling that you have to adapt the content.

What was interesting was how much they were 'intrigued' by the skeleton. I was not sure what to say - they asked:

'Why is it hard'
'Why has it no bum?'
'Do we all have one of those inside us'
'Do parents die before children'
'Can it talk'

All these questions show a curiosity about the subject - which I must research to prepare better answers.
