CURIOUS Sophie and James Martin learned about the treasures of famed Oxford museums as part of summer holiday activities.

The Pitt Rivers Museum and Oxford University Museum of Natural History in Parks Road are helping children explore their exhibits.

They are given a backpack full of games and puzzles and all the right kit to look like proper explorers.

The Abingdon youngsters, who attend Rush Common Primary School, went with mum Angela Martin.

Sophie, nine, who explored with James, five, said: “There was lots of dressing up stuff, it was really fun.”

Mrs Martin said: “It really did entertain the kids, they had a lovely time.”

The “Bags of fun!” activities are taking place every Tuesday and Wednesday until August 29 from 2pm to 4pm.
