Year 3 paid a very interesting visit to The British Museum to learn all about The Romans and The Aztecs. They travelled by underground from Southfields to Russell Square and then walked to the museum. When they arrived at the museum they put their lunch boxes in a large cupboard and then wfound their way through the museum and upstairs to where the Roman artefacts were on show. They made sketches of some of the things in the glass cabinets including glass bowls, jewellery, statues and coins - there were some really beautiful interesting things....
The room with The Aztec artefacts in was downstairs so they walked through the museum again to find them. The room was quite dark so sketching was a bit tricky, but everyone mangaged!
Before leaving the museum there was time to go into the shop. Some bought replica Roman soldiers, others bought pens and pencils. After collecting their lunches it was time to leave the museum and go into the lovely park to eat their yummy lunches, then it was back to the station to return to school......
