Wallace Collection Year 8 Gifted and Talented MFL and Art Trip

/in , /by

In December 30 Year 8 Spanish and Art students visited the Wallace Collection in Marylebone, a beautiful museum housing paintings, sculptures, furniture and armoury all owned by four generations of the Wallace family who bequeathed it to the nation in 1897.

Students had the opportunity to take part in an art workshop run by a professional artist and illustrator, who happened to be a native Spanish speaker and happy to answer our students’ questions in Spanish. They learned about the history of the museum and explored different parts of the building to get inspiration. They produced amazing drawings from different rooms in the house furnished with beautiful Rococo chairs, paintings and sculptures. Students shared their work and discussed what they thought of the beautiful surroundings.

After lunch we split into teams to compete in a Spanish Treasure hunt around the museum. There were three groups who had to find the answers to the clues written in Spanish, which were dotted all around the museum. There was fierce competition to be the fastest group and all students thoroughly enjoyed the day, practicing lots of Spanish and producing some excellent sketches.

Overall, it was a very successful trip and the students came back to school thoroughly inspired.

This educational outing provided our students with a unique chance to engage with the political institutions and history that shape our country.

Mulberry History Society’s First Trip: Exploring HMS Belfast and the City

/in , , /by

The Mulberry History Society embarked on its primary trip this week, taking to the Thames to explore the iconic HMS Belfast. This former Royal Navy warship, which served with distinction in World War II and the Korean War, offered a unique glimpse into life at sea during times of conflict.

As our students explored every corner of the ship, they gained a fascinating insight into what it would have been like to live, work, and fight aboard these vessels. From the cramped quarters to the bridge where crucial decisions were made, every aspect of life on board was laid bare, providing a captivating learning experience.

After exploring into the ship’s rich history, the group crossed Tower Bridge, taking in the breathtaking views of the City of London from one of the world’s most iconic landmarks. And what better way to refuel than with lunch opposite the majestic Tower of London? The proximity of modern-day London with its rich historical heritage was a perfect reflection of our society’s mission to inspire curiosity and appreciation for the past.

This trip marked an exciting milestone for the Mulberry History Society, and we look forward to many more adventures and discoveries in the future. By exploring our maritime heritage and the stories of those who have shaped our world, we aim to inspire our students to become curious, informed, and engaged global citizens.
