VIRTUAL SCHOOL TRIP
 
The Summer term has always been a brilliant time to take a school trip. School trips provide a fun day out and a unique learning experience. Unfortunately, this year school trips are no longer possible. However, that doesn’t mean we still can’t take advantage of what they can offer! We’ve gathered 40 shows, online exhibitions, virtual tours and more that you can use to take a virtual school trip.  All of these virtual school trip ideas can be accessed for free at home. Enjoy!
