Fantastic work from all of the students in 9A who worked incredibly hard on their 1960s Britain homework project! Students were given 2 weeks to research one of the following areas: music, attitudes in society, drug culture or fashion. Students spent the lesson evaluating each other’s work using a checklist and then picked their best 3. Plenty of golds, silvers and bronzes handed out too!
