The Horniman Museum.

 

To learn more about our current topic of The Americas, we went on visit to the Horniman Museum.

 

 

 

While we were there we got to look at real artefacts from Native America.  We looked at shoes that would have been worn by people in the Plains and gloves worn by the Inuit people who lived in the colder areas around The Great Lakes.

 A lot of us enjoyed trying on a replica of a Native American war bonnet.

We even got to look at real snow shoes which were worn by Native Americans and lots more interesting artefacts were passed around for us to look at.

This picture is actually made of sand and tells a Native American myth.

As we had some time to look around the rest of the museum we headed to the Natural History section which featured real animals which had been stuffed.  We even had our photograph taken with the Walrus!

BHPS: What was your favourite part of the trip?

Quadbloggers: Have you been on any really good school trips?

Junior Citizens.

We went to a Junior Citizenship morning at nearby Oaklands School where we had talks from organisations who gave us advice about being good citizens.
 
 
Battersea Dogs Home, gave us advice about how to behave around dogs in parks.

The Red Cross taught us what to do if we ever found anyone unconscious and how to put them into the recovery position.

 The RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) taught us about the dangers we may face at coastal areas and what to do if we ever found ourselves in trouble.

 Finally the Police gave us advice about how we should behave on public transport and when we travel to and from secondary school.

We all enjoyed our morning and learnt a lot.
