Year 10 Trip The V&A and The Natural History Museum

74 pupils and 4 members of staff went to London to the V&A Museum and the Natural History Museum to collect resources and ideas for their Natural Form project. Congratulations are deserved for the oustanding behaviour and hard work. Some stunning drawings were done and copious leaflets, postcards and other freebies were collected by all.
