Trip to Liverpool World Museum
On the final day of term, the children visited Liverpool's World Museum. Year three enjoyed dressing up as various Gods and Goddesses understanding the relationships between them and what their powers enabled them to do.
In a second workshop, the children learned about the nature of Ancient Greece and how the various animals inspired myths and legends such as Theseus and the Minotaur.
For the rest of the day, the children had the opportunity to explore other exhibitions on display at the museum. These included a natural world display where the children looked at rocks, fossils and animals. They enjoyed the new colour exhibition where they explored the effects of colour, how colour can affect advertising and moods and how to camouflage themselves using colour.
The children were incredibly enthusiastic and asked wonderful questions throughout the day - a great credit to the school.

Trip to Blackpool Sixth Form
Year three visited Blackpool Sixth Form College where Mr Peter Wright and a selection of his A level Ancient History students helped the children learn about the Trojan war. Through role play and interviewing, the pupils learnt about the characters involved in the war and understand what their intentions were. Max G reported that 'I really enjoyed going around the class and meeting all the different soldiers and heroines.' 'It was really interesting meeting Achilles and finding out that Hector killed his best friend.' said Abbey.
