As part of the culmination of their Unit of Inquiry on Ancient Civilizations, our Grade 5 students embarked on an enriching field trip to the National Museum of Anthropology. This visit offered them a meaningful opportunity to connect their classroom learning with real-world historical evidence.

During the trip, students explored galleries showcasing artifacts that date back hundreds, and even thousands, of years. These remarkable pieces of history illustrated the Wave Migration Theory, shedding light on how various tribes journeyed across regions and eventually settled in what is now the Philippines. From tools and ornaments to pottery and cultural relics, each item provided a fascinating glimpse into early human movement, adaptation, and cultural development.

The museum experience allowed our Grade 5 learners to deepen their understanding of ancient societies and appreciate the rich and diverse cultural roots of the Filipino people. It was both engaging and eye-opening, giving them a stronger connection to the host country of GESM and its vibrant history.

The students returned to school inspired, curious, and eager to continue exploring how ancient civilizations have shaped the world we live in today.
