The older children visited the British Museum, looking at the Egyptian exhibition, to support the classwork they are doing this term on Egyptian history, with particular reference to Tutankhamen, the famous pharaoh.
The younger children visited the Natural History Museum, where they were very excited to find dinosaur skeletons, ancient bones and lots of information to support their topic on dinosaurs. They were also fascinated by the Blue Whale and were keen to come back to school to find out more about whales.
Both groups also tucked in to a hearty meal at the Rainforest Cafe. One parent said that it was her first time on a school trip and that the children had really enjoyed the experience and were a pleasure to be with.
