Our first class trip was brilliant! We had a great morning exploring the museum, finding out what the children in some of the portraits had been up to during the night and helping the security guard Dave. We explored the differences between items from now and items from the past and used the words fragile, worn and delicate.

In the afternoon we walked around Shrewsbury looking at the different buildings – we were really good building detectives finding out if the buildings were Tudor buildings, Victorian Buildings or modern buildings. We also went to see Charles Darwin’s statue at the library.

It was such a lovely day, lots of members of staff at the museum commented on the children’s impeccable behaviour and the ways in which they engaged in the workshop. They walked really sensibly around the town and were really observant. At the end of the day we talked about our favourite parts of the day, lots of children’s highlights were the bus journey and lunch time! As Harry commented the only thing that could have made the day better was having an ice cream from the ice cream man… I couldn’t have agreed more but I’m not sure Mr Noden would have been too please had I have purchased 21 ice creams on our joint account card!
