# Year 8 Visit the Science & Industry Museum

Today, 41 Year 8 students had the fantastic opportunity to visit the Science and Industry Museum.

Students explored the interactive exhibits and learned more about the history of science, technology and industry, bringing their classroom learning to life. It was a great experience and a brilliant chance to see science and engineering in action.

Well done to all the students for representing Westleigh so well! ????
