We all do love a good museum! After our new found love of history and archaeology, thanks to the holiday in Normandy, we appreciate our history even more. This morning we spent a happy couple of hours at Charnwood Museum in Loughborough, here's some of the things we did:
 |
| A model castle to build, after visiting Mount St Michel in Normandy the boys have a good idea of what an imposing castle and moat look like |
 |
| Reuben loves the microscope, he can analyse fragments of archaeological finds as well as modern organic matter like wood and insects |
 |
| Building a castle |
 |
| Brass rubbings without the paper... |
 |
| The microscope is connected to a screen so Reuben can have a proper look |
 |
| Comfortable with the equipment, we have a small microscope at home but this setup is very special to him |
 |
| Reuben zooms in and out and has learnt how to focus |
 |
| The giant oak tree in the museum, you can just about see the glass walkway under which lies a local dinosaur! |
 |
| Working out the best strategic way to build a castle |
