It's time for my annual trip to Central London with Y7 for wreath laying. We've seen the sights of the city, experienced the tube, filled an entire escalator, and found out about Westminster Abbey and the link with the schools history! @qmgs1554

And now kids are cooking their own soup for dinner. Seemed like a good idea when we wrote the plan.....😭😭 @qmgs1554

Today has been a back to basics day. We did some biology, maths and art in the woodlands. PE on the beach.... @qmgs1554

Beautiful weather in Wales today! Visit to Harlech Castle and the slate caverns, with the inevitable lunch on a beach! @qmgs1554

7S all happy in Wales for the week. We went exploring on a walk in the chopped down woodland across the road. Day of history tomorrow (and hopefully more photos!) @qmgs1554

8R exploring the @farchynys woodland @qmgs1554

8R have been doing some natural art on their belated Y7 week. A deer, the mona-treesa, the canadian flag, and the tree of hope. @qmgsart

It's the annual trip to London to see how many students can fit on one escalator? As well as some sight seeing of the capital and a service in Westminster Abbey ... @qmgs1554 @QMGS1554Alumni

7S off exploring the @farchynys woodland on our final morning. @qmgs1554

7S doing a 10minute beach clean on Barmouth Beach before enjoying some free time. @qmgs1554

Doing some Art sketching (with a pinch of RE and History) at @cadwwales Cymmer Abbey. @qmgs1554

7S busy cooking their soup for dinner. Thanks to @coopuk in Barmouth for helping students shopping, it was entertaining! @qmgs1554

We did some physics about the water balanced cliff railway on our way into @centre_alt_tech for some geography this morning @qmgs1554

7S enjoying their stay at Farchynys. A walk and Geocache yesterday. The apprentice slate miners from this morning are now practicing on the beach, whilst the tacticians make scale models to plan their assault on Harlech Castle this afternoon! @qmgs1554

There's a distinct Christmas feel in the woodland @farchynys today! And strangely quiet (or it was till I started clearing paths with the brushcutter....)

Many thanks to @wabbey for our service and your great tour today. We're not quite sure whether the y7 students or @QM1554 A-level history student learnt more today!

On time for the final leg of our journey back to walsall (just!) Great day for @qmgs1554 in Londin today.

Enjoyed our tour of London. Now at @wabbey for service and tour.

Mr Magee in tour guide mode after we discovered 50 @qmgs1554 Marians completely fill an escalator on the tube! On our tour of the South Bank at the Tower and Tower Bridge.

Off to London today for the @QMGS1554Alumni Wreath Laying ceremony at @wabbey. Successfully negotiated getting 50 Y7 kids onto two trains so far! Already found 1 student who's never been on a train before. #outdoorlearning @qmgs1554
