P6/P7 had a fantastic visit to the Ulster Museum in Belfast today.
The boys and girls availed of a ‘Discover Nature’ session where they learnt all about rainforests and their resources. They then attended the ‘Ancient Egyptian’ workshop where they were able to handle real Egyptian artefacts, like canopic jars and learn about what life would have been like thousands of years ago.
The children then explored the rest of the museum which had so many fascinating objects on display. A favourite was the mummy exhibition which houses the famous Takabuti.
There was just enough time at the end for pupils to take a stroll through the Tropical Ravine House in the Botanic Gardens, and view the many different species of plants.
