Y4 had a fantastic time today at Weston Park Museum. In the morning they looked at lots of bones from the museum’s collection and compared animal skeletons with the human skeleton. They saw animals’ teeth and drew conclusions about the animals’ diet. They increased their knowledge of bone names, and handled some amazing bones including an elephant’s and a giraffe’s skull.
In the afternoon they studied the Joe Scarborough exhibition, followed a gallery trail around and recorded their favourite parts of the paintings by observing and sketching.
The gallery was busy as there was a musical performance taking place towards the end of our visit, but the children were very well behaved and the gallery staff said that they were very impressed.
Well done Y4 for excellent learning and enjoyment today!
