Senior 2 trip to<br />

the Black Country<br />

Museum<br />

On July 7th, Senior 2 visited the<br />

Black Country Living Museum to<br />

bring to life their learning about the<br />

Industrial Revolution. A fantastic day<br />

was had by all, despite very heavy<br />

rain showers! We went through<br />

limestone miners’ caves on a canal<br />

boat, where James, Ben, Linda and<br />

Indiana showed off their ‘legging’<br />

skills and pulled the boat through a<br />

tunnel with their feet! We visited the<br />

village shops, with plenty of money<br />

being spent in the sweet shop, before<br />

our fish and chip lunch. Our guide<br />

showed us a range of Black Country<br />

industries being performed, including<br />

chain making and we went inside<br />

various homes and shops that have<br />

been authentically restored in the<br />

village. The students asked some<br />

excellent questions and I was proud<br />

of both their historical knowledge and<br />

exemplary behaviour throughout the<br />

day. A fantastic school trip with a<br />

delightful year group. Many thanks to<br />

Mr Buckton, Miss Robinson and Mrs<br />

Shaw for accompanying us.<br />

Lower Sixth Geology<br />

A level fieldtrips<br />

The LVI geologists managed to fit<br />

in three field trips at the end of term<br />

giving them the opportunity to put<br />

into practice the skills that they have<br />

learnt in the classroom.<br />
