UKS2 Thackray Museum Visit

Today has been a great day for UKS2 as we had the opportunity to explore the Thackray Museum. It was very interesting exploring life for people from 1840 and how that has changed in the present day. Some great discussions especially around how in 50 years time there will be children visiting the museum, who will learn about the covid pandemic.

As we walked round, we had a range of questions to answer in our pairs for each of the different medicine rooms that we entered. We had lots of reading to do in order to really understand how medicine has dramatically changed over the years. This meant our Work Hard and Get Smart HOWLS had to be secure so that we could be successful in our comprehension work!
