Second Year Trip to Science Museum

Last week, 93 Second Years piled aboard two coaches to participate in the history trip to the Science Museum in London. Although at first sight an unusual destination for a history trip, it quickly emerged that the purpose was both to broaden the minds of pupils to form cross-curricular links and to consolidate and build on this terms study of the Industrial Revolution and the impact this had on Britain. After fighting through dreadful traffic, the second year emerged into the sunshine to spend an absorbing three hours rotating around the galleries of the museum trying to solve a scavenger hunt created by Mr. Hosking, and broken up in the middle with packed lunches in nearby Prince’s Gardens. Tired, but much better informed, the second years climbed back aboard their buses for the return to school. Thank you to all of the staff for organising and coming on the trip!’
