Our Curriculum in Action:
History and Geography
At West Oxford, we enjoy school trips to visit Museums and places of interest to enthuse our learning. We also enjoy using topic boxes of interesting objects and love inviting in experts from outside agencies.
We invited in Lizzie from Magic Lantern who taught us about Roman Art and Architecture
Years 5 and 6 had a live Q and A session with Dr. Diane Davies. She is the only Maya Archaeologist in the UK!
The children were inspired and asked many amazing questions about her discoveries.
As part of their topic on the Middle East and Syria, Beech's class went on a visit to The Ashmolean Museum to find out more about Islamic Art and artefacts. We took part in a hands-on workshop and enjoyed studying beautiful tiles, pottery, and a gigantic map of the world.
