Class 1 Trip to the Hancock Museum

On Monday, Class 1 enjoyed a fantastic visit to the Hancock Museum in Newcastle as part of our Science topic this term – Evolution and Inheritance.

The highlight of the day was an exciting and interactive workshop all about The Evolution of Humans, where the children explored how humans have changed and adapted over millions of years by looking at replica skulls from throughout the ages. They asked brilliant questions and showed great curiosity about how we connect to our ancient ancestors.

After the workshop, the class explored the museum’s fascinating exhibits. From standing face-to-face with a towering T. Rex, to marvelling at the wonders of Ancient Egypt and Greece, the children were captivated throughout. They particularly enjoyed the sections on animal adaptations and fossils, which linked perfectly with our classroom learning.

It was a brilliant day filled with learning, wonder, and inspiration – and the children were an absolute credit to the school!
