This is Collingham: Week 2 -The Natural History Museum

Today classes have been preparing for this week's trip to The Natural History Museum!

The Natural History Museum houses over 70 million life and earth science specimens within five main collections: Botany, Entomology, Mineralogy, Palaeontology and Zoology.

The museum is particularly famous for its exhibition of dinosaur skeletons, and ornate architecture — and is sometimes called therefore, A Cathedral of Nature

Today Kinga's, Becca's, Susanne's and Becky's class have all trotted off to the museum in search of adventure.

Susanne's classes have gone to see the fantastic Scott's Last Expedition exhibition

Kinga's classes visited an outdoor wildlife photo exhibition which housed spectacular photographs like this:
