Trip to Stroud Museum in the Park

Class: Year 4/5: Quartz Year: 2025 - 2026

What a fantastic day we had visiting Stroud Museum in the Park. As part of our topic 'The Bronze Age', we took part in a range of activities to help us understand more about this era. The children handled pre-historic tools and had to guess what they were based some clues. We went on a pre-history discovery trail around the museum and took a walk around the new 'Earth, Fire and Iron' exhibition. In the afternoon, the children used Stone Age tools to cut up vegetables; this proved to be quite a challenge for a lot of us! By far, our most memorable experience was having the opportunity to work with two blacksmiths and create our own Bronze casting to bring home. I am sure you can agree this was a super trip for all of the children (and adults)!
