What do you think when you see this sign?
What do you want the public to think when they see this sign?
ReputationReputation is key.
This is Michaela Community School’s first ever school trip.
We will be in a public place and members of the public will judge how good our school is based on...
…YOUDuring this assembly, you will be taught how to behave professionally in a public place.
Your teachers are trusting you to uphold the school’s reputation.
Do not let yourself, your fellow pupils, your teachers, your school or your community down!
How do I cross the road?Wait until your teacher instructs you to cross the road.
If the green man sign disappears, it is not safe to cross.
Never run.
Look out for emergency vehicles, which do not always stop at pedestrian crossings.
What do I do if get lost on the journey?
Stay in the same location. A teacher will come and find you.
If you leave that location, the teacher will not know where to look for you.
What do I do if get stuck on the tube when everyone else gets
off?Get off at the next stop and wait on the platform.
A teacher will get on the next train and look for you there.
Wait where your teacher instructs you to wait.
Stand still and do not move, even if you have to stand for ten minutes!
Never cross the yellow line.
You never, ever push. Even if someone is in your way and you do not have much space to move.
How do I wait for the tube?
What do I do if the tube is busy and there are people standing?
You always stay in the carriage that your teacher instructs you to.
You always stand for people who are less able to stand. This means that anybody older than yourself, even if they look quite young (!), must be offered your seat.
How do I stand on the tube?
You must always hold onto a rail.
You must hold onto the rail and get out your reading book to read on the Jubilee line, because the journey is over 20 minutes long!

leaders
Leaders are readers
Walk efficiently! Commuters are busy and do not like to wait.
Walk on the left hand side of tunnels.
Follow all instructions from TfL staff.
On escalators, you must stand on the right so that people can walk past you on the left hand side.
How do I move in an Underground station?
How do I queue?
One behind the other.
You never push in, even if you are only amongst friends. You run the risk of being told to go to the back of the queue, delaying everybody in your group.
What do I do if I see someone not behaving in the expected way?
Tell a teacher immediately.
You care so much about Michaela’s reputation that you will not allow unprofessional behaviour to tarnish it.
What do I do if I get lost in the museum?
Go to the Schools Entrance where Mr Miernik will be staying all day.
This is to the right of the dinosaur’s tail.
How do I behave professionally in the
museum?Behave calmly and quietly. Respect other people who are trying to concentrate and learn.
Take your time to look at the exhibits properly.
Read the information given to understand what makes the specimen special.
Diplodocus was one of the longest animals to have lived on Earth and may have reached over 30 metres and weighed around 15 tonnes. The quantity of plant material eaten by roaming herds of this massive herbivore is unimaginable. Once the most famous dinosaur in the world, Diplodocus had four large sturdy legs supporting a long neck and a long tail that could be flailed around like a whip. Several different species have been described since the first Diplodocus discovery was made in North America in 1877. They lived there about 150 million years ago during the late Jurassic period.
How do I walk around in public places?
Concentrate on following instructions and do not become distracted. Otherwise you may lose your way.
Walk efficiently and swiftly.
Walk maximum two abreast. Keep the pavement clear for busy commuters.
Speak at a whisper. Other people do not need to hear your conversation.
What are appropriate levels of noise in public?
How do I respond to instructions?
Follow instructions immediately, just as you would in a classroom.
This includes keeping to time. The timings have been carefully arranged so that everyone can enjoy themselves.
How do I behave in the shop?What if I don’t have any
money?Do not touch things you are not going to buy. If you break them, you may have to pay for them.
Pay as soon as you have decided what you want. There could be a long queue to reach the checkout.
If you do not have money, you can have a look around the shop or wait outside.
What if I buy sweets from the shop, can I eat them on the
trip?No. You must save sweets bought from the shop for home. We do not eat sweets at school and nor do we eat sweets when on a school trip.
How do I behave in public toilets?
Toilets are functional. They are not for socialising.
Do your business, wash your hands, and leave.
Leave the toilets as clean as you would like to find them.
How do I behave on the ice rink?
Skate maximum 4 abreast. Any more than that and it is inconvenient for others to get past you.
Do not over-dramatise if you fall over. Show your best Michaela self control and perseverance!
Help others up if they fall. Being kind is who we are.
1862 International Exhibition building
Alfred WaterhouseThe world-famous Waterhouse building is a London landmark and a work of art. This beautiful building was designed by Alfred Waterhouse, a young architect from Liverpool.
It is one of Britain’s most striking examples of Romanesque architecture.
Natural History Museum’s Waterhouse building, 1881.
Before you enter the Waterhouse building, pause to admire the rounded arches and grand entrance.
The glass and iron shown here was purposely left exposed by Waterhouse to show the beauty of the building materials.
Remember to look upwards to the plants and animals depicted on the intricately
painted ceiling of Hintze Hall.
Workers assemble diplodocus skeleton in 1905. It took 24 crates!
Unveiling the new statue of Charles Darwin, 1885
1927 - 2009Darwin sat in the North Hall, under the main stairs in what became the museum cafeteria for almost 80 years. This is not a place of honor and it seemed very much like the museum was trying to hide Darwin from its visitors.
Back to his rightful place, 2009
Game exhibition, 1932.
