To celebrate the end of the term, I had the pleasure of going on a trip with the 5th grade to visit the Nao Victoria in Sevilla! In science classes, we’ve been learning about the Age of Discovery, including about Fernando Magallanes and his trip across the Pacific Ocean, so it was wonderful to see our learning brought to life with this replica of one of the ships that attempted the voyage. Our visit started with a tour around the ship, where we were able to see where the sailors worked, ate, and slept. Whilst it was incredibly interesting to learn how dozens of men managed to live and work together in such small quarters, the students and I all agreed that we wouldn’t want to live like that ourselves! We then moved on to the museum, where our tour guide explained in detail the entire journey from start to finish. Using an array of maps and globes, we were able to learn more about each of the places that the sailors stopped at and the difficulties that they faced on the journeys in between. We finished off the day with eating our snacks on the lovely Sevilla riverside, next to the Torre del Oro, before returning to Dos Hermanas for a well deserved Semana Santa break!
