Natural History Museum trip 19/11

Our Year 7 students enjoyed a fantastic educational visit to the Natural History Museum, where their curiosity, engagement, and enthusiasm for learning were evident throughout the day. They were particularly fascinated by the dinosaur exhibits, with the towering Tyrannosaurus rex and impressive fossil displays sparking thoughtful discussion and plenty of questions. Their wonder continued as we explored the Earth Galleries, bridging knowledge from their science and geography lessons to the real-world wonders of our planet.

A highlight of the trip was the Volcanoes and Earthquakes gallery, where students explored the powerful forces that shape our Earth. They learned about tectonic plate boundaries, volcanic eruptions, and seismic activity, and then experienced the famous earthquake simulator - a recreation of a Japanese supermarket during the 1995 Kobe earthquake. This immersive experience brought their geography studies to life, helping them understand not only the science behind earthquakes but also the human and environmental impact such natural events can have on different parts of the world.

Throughout the visit, our students demonstrated outstanding behaviour and represented the school with maturity and pride. They were polite, attentive, and respectful to museum staff and members of the public, and engaged thoughtfully with the exhibits. Their curiosity, and excellent conduct made them fantastic ambassadors for our school, and it was a pleasure to see them learning, exploring, and making meaningful connections to their studies in such an inspiring setting
