Pupils from Cronk-y-Berry School have become the first to hold a showcase event for ‘The Tell Me Project’.
They researched their assignments at the Manx Museum and held exhibitions at school on themes such as fashion, home life, travel, food and health, including interviews with their grandparents.
The event was organised by the Department of Education and Age Concern , who were represented by their chief executive Penny Creighton and project sponsor, Professor Hugh Davidson of the H&S Davidson Trust, to view the exhibitions.
