Living museum

On Thursday afternoon, Year 5/6 created a living History museum for their parents to visit. They displayed their posters and presented the information to explain our learning from our Autumn term History unit, answering the question: Why was Baghdad a beacon of light in the Dark Ages? It was a great success and the children enjoyed sharing their work and creativity with their audience.
