• Friday 23 June 2023 Natural History Museum Trip Year 5 had an utterly captivating day at the Natural History Museum, exploring a bountiful array of magnificent exhibits that brought the wonders of our planet to life. From getting up close and personal with titanosaurus - the latest addition to the museum's collection - to marveling at the spectacular underwater and land animals, children were enthralled by the breathtaking diversity of the natural world. And as if that wasn't enough, they even had the thrilling opportunity of encountering a range of prehistoric dinosaurs and creepy insects, adding even more excitement and depth to their experience. Now, as we settle into our seats on the coach, exhausted but exhilarated after an early start and a long day of adventure and discovery, we reflect on the amazing memories we've made, and the invaluable lessons we've learned about the preciousness and fragility of our planet.
