2nd ARP Trip to the Museum of London

21 Jun 2nd ARP Trip to the Museum of London

On Tuesday 17^th June nine students, Miss White, Mr Hill and Ms Newman travelled on the tube to the Museum of London and explored the history of London from 450,000 BC to modern day. We saw a replica of the Battersea Shield and then discovered how Londinium came to life and what daily life was like for Romans in the city 2,000 years ago. We continued onto Medieval London and learnt about the Black Death then onto the Renaissance and saw the tragedy of the Great Fire of London in 1666. We then explored how London was rebuilt and walked through Victorians streets to see what life was like during the Victorian period. The day concluded with the 1900’s to present day and we walked through the stories of protests, two world wars and how Britain changed during the 1960’s and 1970’s. The students were fantastic historians and loved exploring each time period. It was a pleasure to see the students actively engage with the history around them!
