Year 6 UK Trip - The natural history museum and the bbc

Friday was a slow start to the day, which was good as many of us were exhausted from the last night and the jet-lag ! Our first destination today was the Natural History Museum. Thankfully, the queue for the dinosaur exhibition was not too long so we were able to look at the amazing skeletons of the different dinosaurs. Some of them were massive and really quite scary !

After lunch, we headed to the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) for a tour behind the scenes. Looking down on the newsroom with the live broadcasting area and the different journalists working was brilliant. (Although I’m not sure who enjoyed it more, the teachers or the students!) We saw a set being set up outside for a live performance later on in the day where a couple of presenters were going to play human snooker. This involves the people getting in to zorb balls and rolling towards different inflatable balls to knock them in to the pockets.

We were then taken in to the older building where we had the opportunity to have a go at being newsreaders, weather presenters and radio actors.

Obviously, a trip anywhere ends in the shop; this was no exception! And a lovely little shop it was too!
