Ryedale Folk Museum

Hey everyone!!! Its October! Nearly Halloween!!! We are in for a spooky night at the museum. Make sure you get yourself up because its going to be a great night. Certainly a great opportunity to get dressed up. I am really looking forward to it. I can't believe my interview was on Halloween last year. I feel as though I have been at the museum for a lifetime. Next week Rolf from college is coming to do an observation and he will also be talking to Marky Mark and Little Richard. That should be good because Rolf says that I need an observation with me doing a session with a school and funnily enough there is a school on Tuesday so that is the perfect opportunity for an observation. See you all later. Little Em

Yesterday I when to College with Emma, and we had a great time. We get the 7:37 train from Malton to York and change over to the Bradford Interchange train. The annoying thing about the train is that we have to wait 20 minutes to get on, but on the positive side we have time to get a bite to eat. Sometimes we go to the Bradford City Training Services and others we go to Bradford College. Yesterday we were at the City Training Services.

We have made some good friends there and are going to make more i should think as there are some new people joining. The different Apprentices there are all to do with creativity, as the City Training Services provide a course for different Apprentices combined together. There are Apprentices doing courses on Gallery Management, Museum Directory, Media Management, Theatrical Manageme...

Sorry folks for not writing in a long time but I have been busy!! Recently I have been to the Bradford college and, got to know the surroundings around me. Over the past few weeks I have opened up the museum, got to know the different sets of keys and what they are used for, i have also learnt recently, how to open up the actual site with the Master set of keys. When I am at work I have been doing lots of different jobs such as; Front of House (on my own), as well as doing a bit of my own work with college. David has been helping me get up to the same stage as him, so we can help each other and discuss our different opinions. I have been on a 'Customer Care course' and have found it useful and have taken many notes for college. This will be useful for Evidence. - I have also already done a Customer Care course and I achieved the highest standard in my class. David and I cleaned out the office, and you would have to have a strong gut to do it, as it was a hard job. We both felt ...

My name is Emma Boyes and i am the new apprentice at the museum. My first day at Hutton le Hole was great because i really enjoyed meeting new people and everyone who works here are all so friendly. It is such a good atmosphere because if you get stuck at any time there are lots of people around who can help you. Yesterday i helped out by showing some young children round and i found that really enjoyable because the children were so enthusiastic. I enjoyed every minute yesterday and i am sure i will enjoy all the time because there are lots of different activities here and all the staff here are amazing and they are all so friendly!!! David is a great person to work with because he is so funny and it will be good to go to Bradford with him.
