Geography & Science Trip

Geography & Science Trip to the BBC Earth Experience in Earl’s Court

On Monday 19th June, a group of enthusiastic Year 7 students embarked on a joint Geography and Science trip with Mr Lobo, Mrs Baird and Miss Teelock, to the Daikin Centre in Earl’s Court, London for the much-anticipated BBC Earth Experience exhibition. The event promised to be an immersive experience, taking them on a captivating exploration of the seven continents and the wonders they hold.

The students completed their own fun personal workbook and enjoyed the experience as they were able to learn about the iconic physical landscapes of ‘Planet Earth’ as well as learning about the amazing and mesmerising animals and biodiversity that exists. Learning was conducted in a relaxed setting whilst either lying on beanbags or interacting with some of the immersive experiences!! The video projection images were rather spectacular and the narration from Sir David Attenborough was very fitting and poignant.

From fireflies putting on a spectacular light show in North America, to snub nosed monkeys huddling together to stay warm in Asia, and hungry hamsters fighting to keep their food in Europe, the Yr 7 students experienced our seven continents in all their glory, like never before.

As the students said farewell to the BBC Earth exhibition, they had a quick game of ‘Giant Chess’ and reflected upon memories of an unforgettable journey that broadened their horizons and ignited their passion for the planet. Inspired by the immersive experience, they left with a renewed commitment to protect the natural wonders of the seven continents they had explored.

A big thank you to all the teachers and staff who made this trip possible.
