East Oxford First School
These children thought about treasures and how we all love making collections. They first brought to school their own favourite object from home and talked and wrote about this 'treasure'. Then in the Museum they looked in the Tradescant Room, and in the Medieval and Indian Galleries and chose their favourite object. They sketched in the Galleries, observing closely, and then made a pastel drawing and wrote about their chosen object.
