FIELD DAY: YEAR 9 Mrs Skinner writes... On Thursday, the Year 9 boys went on a joint Art and Biology field day. In the morning, they visited the ‘Wildlife Photographer of the Year’ exhibiton at the Natural History Museum, where they saw some incredible photographs from people of all ages, both amateurs and professionals. The exhibition will stay open at the NHM for a few more months and I would really recommend going! (See http://www.nhm.ac.uk/visit/ wpy/visit.html to book tickets). In the afternoon, the boys went to The Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew, where the boys had a chance to take their own wildlife photographs. The boys will now chose their favourite photographs and use them to enter our own Wildlife Photography Competition, which is being held in memory of Marcos Burnett – who loved wildlife photography. The photographs will be displayed in an exhibition that will take place in school, on the 4th May from 6:30pm, when the winning photographs will be announced on that evening . All Y9 and 10 parents are invited to attend the evening, which will be a wonderful celebration of wildlife and art.
