As part of Lisas Early Years Professional status, Lisa took some 3 and 4 year olds from the pre-school on a trip to Ipswich Museum after realising their interest in dinosaurs and bones. The trip allowed the children to develop all areas of learning, including skills such as confidence in new experiences, personal and social skills, physical experiences by touching and handling unusual objects, thinking and listening skills, problem solving and most importantly they enjoyed it.  One area that was noticeably developed was the childrens language and vocabulary.

The trip has been supported by Suffolk Museum and has influenced the way the museum educates the younger children by making their experience more interactive and tangible by using resource bags, dressing up and role play, tunnels and maps.

On reflection of their trip the children produced drawings to represent their experience and what they learnt. To see their pictures visit our nursery page on our website.
