Year 4 had an amazing school trip to the Natural History Museum. When we arrived, we went to the ‘Emergency! Earthquakes and volcanoes’ workshop. The scientists had gone missing so Year 4 heroically stepped in to save Volcano Town from certain doom. However, we also wrecked part of it to see how a seismometer works. Destruction in the name of science! We also experienced an earthquake, rode an escalator through the centre of the Earth, learned even more about the different types of volcanoes and actively learned using as many of the interactive displays as possible. ![]()

A guest speaker from the Wallace Collection
Posted: 4th March 2021
KS2 had a special guest from The Wallace Collection, Julie Barlow, discussing myths and legends, which links well with our new topic about Ancient Greece. We will be starting this after Easter. We investigated the famous bronze sculpture of ‘Hercules overcoming Achelous in the form of a bull’ by Ferdinando Tacca. We talked about metamorphosis and the changes myths go through.
