It certainly looks like the children had a magnificent day. The first time Applegarth has taken children to this Museum, teachers are always looking for new and exciting opportunities for children to both apply their learning and enhance it by learning beyond the school classroom.
After the visit Cerys told me it was her best ‘ever’ vist. I hope the children managed to share their day by talking with their families at home.
This school trip was super fun! I think we all had a great day.

Bethany Hamilton’s
School trip
On Tuesday the 13th Bethany Hamilton class went to Newcastle to see the Great North Museum, Hancock.
At first I thought it would be boring but to my surprise it was actually quite fun. First of all we started looking in an Egyptian part and we looked at the artefacts and I even found a purple crystal that I have at home. After that we did some quizzes and tasks. When we had finished we went to learn how to mummify and we saw REEL MUMMIES! And we saw an x-ray. After that we went to a garden for lunch.
Thank you for sharing your report.
On Tuesday 13th June my class Bethany Hamilton went on a school trip to the Great North Museum in Newcastle. On a bus on the way there we saw The Angle of the North and we crossed over the River Tyne. When we got there we put our bags in a big blue box. We went upstairs and we were split in to 5 groups to look around the museum. There were two real mummies in the Egyptian exhibition and lots of interesting artefacts. We then went back down stairs and in to a room where we investigated two real mummies. The mummies were called Bakt en Hor and Irtyru. We learnt about mummification and we went around 5 tables looking at x-rays, CT scans and a 3D mummy head. After lunch we went back up stairs and we looked around the rest of the museum. We looked at the animals that had been stuffed and the fake plastic ones, the rest of the Ancient Egypt exhibition and then we went back down stairs and we got back on the bus to go back to school. It was a lot of fun at the museum, my favourite part was looking at all the animals, particularly the stuffed otters!.

Her name was irtyru and she was unwrapped in 1830. There was another mummy called Bakt en Hor she had never been unrapped but there was a fake model of her. It looked like the Egyptians had used the wrong oil because her face was covered in blobs .Then we had our lunch. After we had our lunch, we went to the dinosaur exhibition. There were different dinosaur fossils, there were t-Rex bones but next to the t-Rex there was a royal python. We moved to the roman exhibition where there were tall trees with ghosts on the top. The sea had lots of sword fish and pointy fish. Then we moved up to the Greek area. There were lots of coins.

On Tuesday 13th June Hamilton class went to The Great North Museum: Hancock, Newcastle. While we were on the bus we saw The River Tyne and The Angle of the North, we were on the bus for about an hour and a half. When we got there we put all our bags in a big blue box so we didn’t have to carry them around the museum. First of all we went into the Ancient Egyptian exhibition to have a little look around there were two real mummies that were called Irtyru and Bakt en Hor (Bakt en Hor hasn’t even been unwrapped yet!). Then we all got split into five groups to do different activities. After that we got split into another four groups ready to go to the mummification workshop which was about the two real mummies in the museum (Irtyru and Bakt en Hor). Meanwhile Mrs Hughes, Mrs Barugh and Mrs O’Toole were getting all of our bags out of the blue box ready for dinner, so when the workshop finished we got our bags and went outside to eat our dinner. Then we went to look around the rest of the museum my favourite part was when a man that worked at the museum gave us some 3D glasses, held up some 3D pictures of different animals and told us how they survived through the four seasons. Unfortunately it was time to go back to school we had an amazing day and I really enjoyed it.
On Tuesday 13th June the Hamilton class went to Newcastle museum, Hancock. At round about half eight we set off on the orange and white bus. On the journey, we went past the Angel of the North and over the river Tyne. When we got to Newcastle we all saw the Newcastle stadium.
As we went inside the museum, we went straight upstairs into the ancient Egyptian section. For the first 15 to 20 minutes we had a little mooch around and after that we got into our groups of 5. I saw a mummified Egyptian in a tomb. As we went down the stairs our class came to a halt and went into a small room with four tables that had a couple of pictures on them.
After learning about two ancient Egyptians Hamilton class had lunch we all went around the other section of the museum. We went to the dinosaurs and Reggie loved it! We went to lots of other sections and then we went home on the bus.
