Year 4 visit the Natural History Museum

This week, Year 4 visited the Natural History Museum to find out all about volcanos and earthquakes. We even got to experience our very own earthquake simulator! 

We worked in groups to answer questions about the exhibit as well as explored the interactive activities. 

We had a little time to spare at the end so we went to see the precious rocks and stones on display. We even managed to find some volcanic rocks!

We can't wait for our next trip together!

Ash class visit the Earthquake and Volcano gallery - Natural History Museum

As part of our learning this term about natural disasters, Ash class visited the ‘Volcanoes and Earthquakes’ exhibition at the National History Museum. 

We have been developing our geographical knowledge of how these natural disasters occur in Humanities and how we can use our learning to write a tale of fear in English. 

It was exciting, if not a little bit scary, to experience the earthquake simulator! 

Moreover, it was interesting to learn that in years gone by many people used to believe the cat fish was the cause of earthquakes!
