BH&PS HISTORY KIDS
AND GROWN-UPS, TOO
No bones about it, I'm Pandora,
the official BH&PS mascot for the
BH&PS History KIDS.
I dig for history... that's what I do best and then I like to share my findings. I have created a history blog and I also contribute to the KIDS Tales from Jail newsletter. As I dig up these stories for the History KIDS, I hope parents and other adults will also enjoy reading my little known and fascinating snippets of Bristol History.
