Year 4 Visit the Natural History Museum

July 10, 2014
Year 4 recently visited the Natural History Museum for a day filled with fascinating facts. Exhibitions about the human body, animal habitats and, of course, dinosaurs were the subject of many "did you know that...?" discussions amongst our pupils. To a captivated audience, industrious leafcutter ants carried leaves across ropes to their nest. On a totally different scale, the famous model of a blue whale had our children awe struck by the size of the majestic mammal. We are so lucky to have this world-class museum just an easy train journey away; the inspiring day out was clearly enjoyed by pupils and they learnt so much about the natural world.
