Key Stage 3 Enjoy Horniman Visit
Selected KS3 EAL students visited the Horniman Museum in March.
Students were thrilled to see colourful butterflies flying around the Butterfly House and were trying very hard to get a photo of the 'Blue Morpho' species which has bright blue wings.
They were also fascinated with the displays such as the clothes that the Inuit people wear in the cold, the scary metal torture 'suit' and the Year 9 students were able to relate their History lesson on Myanmar to the displays as well.
The slight cool weather and drizzle did not stop the walk around the beautiful gardens. On our way into the flower garden, Daniel, one of our newest EAL students said "Miss, a bunch of flowers" and he was 'spot on! This was the collective noun that we had been studying the past week. We got to see everything that we expected to see except the illusive 'seahorse' at the aquarium.
Students now have a challenge to produce a piece of art from a chosen item from the museum which they had taken photos of. We can't wait to see the entries after Easter and prizes, which are souvenirs from the Horniman Museum Shop will be given to the best three entries.
