Last week, Year 3 Pelican @FP had the exciting opportunity to visit the Ramses and the Pharaohs’ Gold: The Exhibition at Battersea Power Station. The trip gave the children a fantastic chance to deepen their understanding of Ramses II and the fascinating world of ancient Egypt.

During the visit, the children explored a wide range of incredible artefacts, including ancient statues, jewellery, coffins and beautifully crafted objects made from gold. They were particularly intrigued by the detailed decorations and hieroglyphics which helped us to imagine what life may have been like over 3,000 years ago. The exhibition also gave the children the opportunity to learn about ancient Egyptian beliefs, including their burial practices and the importance of preparing for the afterlife.

The immersive displays and dramatic lighting helped bring history to life, and the children showed great curiosity and enthusiasm as they moved through the exhibition. They asked thoughtful questions, shared their knowledge from our classroom learning, and demonstrated excellent behaviour throughout the visit.

It was a memorable experience that helped make our history learning feel real and meaningful and the children returned to school full of excitement and new facts to share.
