Year 4 enjoyed a wonderful visit to the Museum of Zoology. As soon as we arrived, the children were amazed by the enormous skeleton of the whale which loomed above them in the foyer. As the children observed more closely, they even discovered that the whale had hand bones similar to ours! The children compared the human skeleton to other vertebrate skeletons and drew wonderful annotated drawings. They also learnt some very interesting facts about turtles and how they breathe! Everyone enjoyed being ‘skull detectives’ and looking at all the exhibits of vertebrates and invertebrates! We can’t wait to return.
