Educational Visit – Science & Natural History Museums

Trip date: Thursday May 14th

[TechBloq Students – Girls’ Classes Years 4-5 & 5-6]

Science & Natural History Museums

We’re excited to be organising a special educational outing for our Years 4-6 girls, designed to bring their current STEAM topic Bones, Muscles & Joints to life.

This trip will give students the opportunity to explore real-world exhibits, deepen their understanding and make meaningful connections with what they’ve been learning in sessions.

Where We’re Going

Science Museum

This gallery introduces key ideas about the human body, growth, and biological systems, giving students a broader understanding of how the body functions – supporting their learning about bones, muscles and movement.

Natural History Museum

After lunch, we’ll take a short walk to the Natural History Museum to visit the Mammals Gallery. Here, students will observe real skeletons and structures of animals, helping them compare human and animal bodies.

There are no additional costs for the outing and will be a full educational day with TechBloq staff supervising throughout.
