British Museum of Natural History Day

We went to the British Museum of Natural History today.  it would take several days to do it right but we did our best. 
Debbie and I at the British Museum of Natural History.
Oh My Goodness!!! What a wonderful place.  We saw fossils, Audubon's original drawings, beautiful gems, moon rocks, rocks from Mars, dinosaurs and a 12 meter giant squid (only an adolescent).   We also saw a coeleocanth that David Attenborough filmed just a few weeks ago (watch for his documentary).

We also were able to see part of Charles Darwin's own collection.

We even got to see Charles Darwin's pet turtle. 

After the museum we went to Harrod's and had tea.  We shopped and walked to the nearest pub and ate dinner which was for Debbie fish and chips and for me, roasted chicken and mash.

We are having a great time and learning so much.  We are so grateful to the Fund For Teachers Fellowship.  Debbie and I are planning several things.  One of which is a project for our students and another is a field trip (not necessarily to England) but to a museum that can offer our students a similar experience.
