Teaching my S3s about plants and animals in the desert today. No clue why they laughed at my camel!

It was such a pleasure to join 2C8 in Dr Astbury’s class. I was so impressed with their hardworking ethos and how they engaged in a debate on nuclear weapons. It was a real privilege to join the class today! #RISE
