We enjoyed our visit to Leeds City Museum on Friday morning. In three groups, we each focussed on one animal: polar bear, gorilla and sea turtle.
We started by visiting one of the museum exhibitions in order to find our animal and sketch it, noting what features it had and what it might use these for.
Then, once we’d had a chance to take a look around at all of the other interesting things inside the exhibition, we decided to take a closer look at some animals, exploring skulls and taxidermy.
We thought about how these animals were adapted to live in their environment before working as a team to create a 3D collage of our animal.
We had a great time and returned very excited to continue learning through our Life topic.
