During the week of 6th November 2023, a group of Year 1 pupils from West St Leonards Primary Academy undertook an intrepid (albeit rather windy!) school trip adventure, visiting the De La Warr Pavilion and Bexhill Museum.
The children delved into the history of toys at the museum, learning about popular playtime activities in the Victorian age. The children loved all the activities, led by an amazing team of volunteers and wanted to thank the team personally for a great day of learning and laughter. All the children contributed to a thank you letter for the Bexhill Museum team – a great way of consolidating learning and showing gratitude! Well done, Year 1!
The Bexhill Museum Team loved having the class visit the exhibits and enthusiastically shared fantastic feedback on the pupils’ engagement on the day, describing the children as well behaved and engaging brilliantly with all the activities.
A Year 1 teacher at West St Leonards Primary Academy, commented: “We are proud of each and every one of our Year 1 learners, who all got involved in the activities provided by the wonderful Museum team and coped wonderfully with a particularly blustery day for our trip.”
