Finishing off the semester with a visit to the @MigrationUK with our @wminhumanities students.
First visit to @ltmuseum in too long! Some museums just have such a good vibe, especially on a busy Friday in the school hols. Fantastic variety of object interpretation styles for our @wminhumanities to dig into in our penultimate class of the year.
