Year 8 & 10 Natural History Museum trips
Over 90 Year 8 & 10 students visited the Natural History Museum this half term, to extend and enhance their geographical knowledge of the natural world. The first stop was the Volcanoes and Earthquakes gallery, which directly links with the geography curriculum that they are currently studying. Students learnt more about the impact of these amazing natural hazards, with a diversity of displays and artefacts, including an earthquake simulator. We also visited galleries detailing the story of the Earth and evolution, the huge array or minerals found on Earth, and the processes that change the shape of the Earth’s surface. After lunch, students explored the Hintze Hall, with the iconic blue whale skeleton suspended from the roof, the mammals gallery and finished with the creepy crawlies gallery!
