Robins and Woodpeckers enjoyed their first topic trip to Lapworth Museum of Geology in Birmingham. The children enjoyed a workshop with a member of the museum staff where they learnt about evolution, looked at fossils and replicas of animals that would have lived a long time ago and thought about how animals have evolved to look and act the way they do now.
They also took part in an artefact hunt around the museum. This included looking for fossils in the palaeontology exhibition, coloured crystals in the mineral collection, dinosaur skeletons and historical machinery used to measure volcanoes!
The staff were so proud of all the children for being fantastic ambassadors for Haughton School.
