Our inquiry museum trip

Last Friday we packed up our bags and headed off to the museum. Our inquiry focus for the term is on Ancient Wonders and all the questions we have around ancient civilisations, buildings and culture. We were fortunate enough to visit the classroom at the museum and have a special lesson. In our lesson we used our inquisitive minds to find out information about different ancient civilisations. We were able to look at artefacts from these civilisations and examine them. There were some incredible objects with very interesting backgrounds and reasons for their usage. The museum trip definitely sparked some great inquiry focussed discussion.

A special thank you to all our great parents who offered to help and those that came along. It definitely wouldn't have been such a fun trip without you all.

Thomas D: I like how we were presenting information about our Gods and what they were doing.

Dominic: I really loved the mummy at the museum. I like how they found all the interesting artefacts. The Ancient Egyptians thought that if their pets died and they mummified them they would meet them in the after life.

Olivia: I liked all the quizzes. There was a Buddha meditating as an artefact in one of the glass cabinets.

Zac: We had to get ancient artefacts and had to figure out what they were.

Fraser: We got given a puzzle. It was actually a Viking's toilet seat.

Morgan G: There was an artefact that was the end of a staff. I think it came from Ancient Egypt. I never knew staff were real because they are usually magical.

See if you can spot anyone you know in all the photos Miss B took.
