“The best excursion in my years at school”
Excitement ran high among the two groups of Grade 1 / 2s from Sorrento Primary School who visited the Museum and Watts’ Cottage last month for our programme The Past in the Present.
Some of the Class 1/2s at Watts’ Cottage
One of the participants, aged six, announced at School Assembly that it was “the best excursion in my years at school”!
The pictures below tell the story.
