The Year 7s spent a lot of time and a huge amount of effort preparing and presenting for their Bronze Age Cities Living Museum. Therefore it was important for the students to reflect on the process, what they had learnt along with the skills they developed. Below are a selection of their reflections.

For the Living Museum students worked in teams to create booklets of information about their given Bronze Age City. Students included a wide range of information in their booklets from how the city governed itself to the specialisation and innovation that occurred there. The booklets were on the tables at the Living Museum but we would like to celebrate a number of examples in case you did not get the chance to see them.

Year 7 have explored the importance of specialisation in the complex development of civilisations in the Bronze Age Cities. They have explored five specific cities that developed focusing on what specialisations were needed to allow the cities to develop and work effectively. This project culminated in a 'Living Museum' in which students designed books of information about their focus city, created artefacts of their specific specialism and presented to parents and teachers as if they were curators in a museum.
The event was a huge undertaking and wouldn't have worked without the enthusiasm of the Year 7 Individuals and Societies teachers, the coordination of the support services and a willing bunch of Year 12s to help put up posters and draw beards on the Year 7s.
