Year Three History and Science Trip to Cambridge

Year Three had two fascinating days in Cambridge. At the Fitzwilliam Museum we found out all about the art of mummification and viewed the extensive collection of Egyptian artefacts.
It was hard to believe that the objects we were looking at were over 3000 years old! 

After lunch, we visited the Sedgwick Museum where the rocks we saw are much, much older! Some date back as far as 165 million years. 

The children had opportunities to record their findings in their sketch books and the museum teachers commented on how well they listened, shared their knowledge of the subject and represented their school.
