Y3 Trip to museum Mayer van den Bergh
The lucky students in Year 3 had the pleasure of a trip to Museum Mayer Van Den Bergh in the company of the Year 12 English B class. To promote the IB attributes of Caring and Communicating and to practise their English B language skills outside of the classroom, the Year 12 students each prepared presentations on two museum pieces from a collection of thousands (though not all on display at the same time) and enthralled the Year 3 children with the stories behind the portraits, paintings and statues on display.
Y2 Trip to Toy Museum
Our Year 2 class has been researching, designing and, of course, playing with toys as part of their IPC unit. As a highlight of their learning journey they hopped on the train to visit the Toy Museum in Mechelen!
Y3 & Y4 Chocolate Nation Antwerp
Chocolate is a fascinating and multifaceted topic, offering so many amazing educational opportunities from Geography, Science, Ancient Civilizations, Language Acquisition and Gastronomy!
Y9 & Y10 Plantin-Moretus museum
What better way to learn about the origin of books, both in text and graphic form, than taking a trip to the home of printing in Antwerp, the Plantin-Moretus museum. A Unesco world heritage site, this 400 year old building, once the home of Christophe Plantin and his family, is now the proud exhibitor of the work of Lodovico Guicciardini.
Y12 & Y13 FOMU
As part of their CAS course, the Year 12 & 13 IB students visited the ‘Masculinities: Liberation through Photography’ exhibition at the Photo Museum of Antwerp (FOMU).
