On Tuesday, the Grade 3s went to the Museum of Illusions. The grade was split into three groups and we set off to explore the museum. The learners had fun experiencing all the different exhibits and having their photos taken. Optical Illusions are so clever and some make your eyes hurt! After that we headed to the Company Gardens for a picnic and to feed the squirrels.
This was more than a fun outing – it shows that learning also happens outside the classroom where our pupils were introduced to a range of STEAM concepts, and were encouraged to think critically.
