The agenda yesterday was an educational excursion to the incredible Natural History Museum in London. It is home to 80 million items! It is best known for its ginormous Diplodocus dinosaur skeleton that stands in one of the main entrances.
The students were given a booklet by their teachers to fill out by finding out information from around the museum. Most of the excursion was based around the topic of dinosaurs, seeing lots of skeleton fossils and reading all of the information available. There was even a moving dinosaur model that impressed the students.
Some students explored the Earthquake section of the museum. There were diagrams, models and also an Earthquake Simulator where the students stood in a room that looked like a shop and a mild earthquake shake happened as an example of what happens when one occurs.
After the excursion and a delicious dinner, the students had a Monster Murder Mystery themed night. They found our Course Director Jeremy "dead" in the Chill Out Room and then watched a video starring our suspects - some of the Activity Leaders who took on a new identity.
Each colour group had 10 minutes to interview each suspect and then met back in the Auditorium to explain who they think "murdered" Jeremy and why.
Each colour group gave extremely detailed answers and all answered correctly!
