Wellcome Collection

On Thursday, Bakerloo Class went on a school trip. We travelled on the Victoria Line, which was very fast and quite noisy. The pupils experienced travelling on a busy London Underground service and showed resilience throughout the journey. At Warren Street Station, we were met by our lovely guide, who led us to the Wellcome Collection. Along the way, pupils practised their travel skills, stayed together as a group, and enjoyed exploring a new part of London

Our guide shared interesting information about the area and helped make the journey to the museum enjoyable and engaging.

The first exhibit we explored was Being Human, which featured a variety of interactive and hands-on activities. The students thoroughly enjoyed investigating the different displays, engaging with the exhibits, and learning through exploration. The interactive nature of the exhibition encouraged curiosity and allowed pupils to discover more about the human body in a fun and accessible way.

We then stopped for a break to enjoy our packed lunches in a relaxed space that had been reserved exclusively for our group. Having our own area provided a calm environment for the students to eat, rest, and socialise before continuing with the remainder of our visit.

After lunch, we explored the Rudy Loewe exhibition, which was the highlight of the trip for many of the pupils. One part of the exhibition was a specially designed immersive space that promoted calm and relaxation, featuring flowing fabrics, soft red lighting, and soothing sounds that could be listened to through headphones. Both the pupils and adults thoroughly enjoyed spending time in this peaceful environment, and we stayed there for quite a while, taking in the experience. The space provided a wonderful opportunity for everyone to relax, reflect, and engage with the exhibition in a meaningful way.

We then made our way back to Warren Street Underground Station and said goodbye to our guide, thanking him for making the visit so enjoyable and informative.

After our return journey on the Victoria Line, we headed back to school with lots of wonderful memories from the day. It was a thoroughly enjoyable trip, and both pupils and staff had a fantastic time exploring the exhibitions, learning new things, and experiencing a cultural visit in the heart of London.
