At TRRS, we believe that learning extends far beyond the four walls of the classroom. On Thursday, 15th October 2026, our Year One pupils embarked on an enriching educational excursion to the National Museum of Ghana, bringing their current Social Studies unit to life.
The trip was beautifully tailored to reinforce their classroom topic, Traditional Homes. An enthusiastic cohort of 59 pupils, accompanied by seven dedicated faculty members, set off from the school, eager to dive into a practical exploration of Ghanaian history, culture, and architecture.
Upon arriving at the museum, the young historians were treated to a captivating journey through time. The curated exhibits allowed the pupils to observe and interact with real-life examples of ancient Ghanaian life. They marvelled at the structural designs of diverse traditional homes, explored historical kitchens, and learned about the fascinating caves that served as early ancestral shelters.
Beyond architecture, the immersive tour exposed the children to broader elements of our heritage. They examined traditional Ghanaian foods, admired historical attire, and learned about the deep cultural significance behind various beautifully preserved artefacts.
Throughout the morning, the pupils’ excitement and enthusiasm were palpable. They asked insightful questions, showed immense curiosity toward the exhibits, and actively engaged with the museum guides. This hands-on experience perfectly bridged the gap between abstract textbook lessons and real-world history, fostering a profound appreciation for how people lived in the past.
The group returned to campus safely full of stories and newly acquired knowledge. It was a thoroughly educational and enjoyable day out, leaving our Year One pupils with a deeper, proud connection to Ghana’s rich cultural tapestry.
