Grade 8 Humanities trip to Nanjing Museum, Blocks 3 & 4, Wednesday, 20th February

All Grade 8 will be out of school for these two blocks on Wednesday, 20th Feb, as they will be visiting Nanjing Museum to see the current temporary exhibition of artworks from the Italian Renaissance. This is in connection with their current unit, which focuses on innovation and ideas in Renaissance Europe, so the exhibition has arrived in Nanjing with timing so perfect we couldn’t ignore it! The exhibition ends on 24th February, so this week is our only chance to get there.

All Grade 8 students will depart school as soon as possible after 10:20am, and will be back in school during lunchtime. They will therefore miss their Block 3 and 4 lessons; Block 5 should go ahead as usual.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused, and please see me, Trina or Nick if you have any questions or concerns.
