This week, Year 3 have had the exciting opportunity to visit the V&A Museum in South Kensington as part of our Thematic learning on the Great Exhibition!
When we arrived, we spent time looking around the British galleries, discovering art and sculpture during 1500-1900. We focused on the British gallery portraying the Great Exhibition, where we saw Joseph Paxton’s original sketches, a 3D model of the Crystal Palace and some beautiful decorative pieces that were on display inside the Palace.
The children enjoyed sketching during their visit to the museum and experimented with shading techniques.
The children thoroughly enjoyed the day! Thank you to the parent volunteers who supported us on the trip.
