On Wednesday 6 November and Thursday 7 November, 200 year 7 students from The Holgate Academy embarked on an enriching history and geography trip to London. The purpose of this educational journey was to provide students with hands-on learning experiences, exploring significant historical artifacts and observing the urban environment of one of the world’s most dynamic cities.
Half of the students had the opportunity to visit The British Museum, where they marvelled at various artefacts, including the iconic Rosetta Stone, the Sophilos Vase, The Parthenon Sculptures, and much more. This experience allowed them to delve into the rich cultural heritage and historical significance of these treasures.
The other half of the students took to the streets of London, investigating different buildings and observing public footfall around various structures. Their exploration included some of London’s most iconic landmarks such as the London Eye, The Shard, the River Thames, the Queen Elizabeth Tower housing Big Ben, and Trafalgar Square. These activities provided students with practical insights into urban geography and the significance of different buildings and functions.
All students thoroughly enjoyed the trip and represented The Holgate Academy with exemplary behaviour. Their enthusiasm and curiosity were evident throughout the visit, making it a memorable experience for everyone involved.
We are proud of our students for their outstanding conduct and eager participation in this educational excursion, showcasing the spirit of The Holgate Academy at its best.
