On 6 October, 26 students from years 8-11 are going to Milan for a residential visit. During the visit they will get to experience different aspects of the city’s culture and they will visit major attractions such as the Pinacoteca di Brera, the ‘Leonardo da Vinci’ Museum of Science and Technology and the Sforzesco Castle. There will also be time, of course, for pizza, ice cream and shopping! Students are very much looking forward to the visit and they will have many opportunities to practise their Italian during the visit too.
