You can do anything to fundraise: a bake sale, shoe polishing, charity football matches, anything is acceptable.

Our trip to the Victoria & Albert Museum On the 23rd of February I was invited to the V and A in London with the other year 10 Graphics students. I enjoyed the day a lot, especially seeing what life was like for the teenagers in the 1960s. It was very interesting to see all the art work and the sculptures. My favourite art work was a piece of typography with the world 'Revolution', it was turned into a post-card and a hoodie in the shop at the end. I loved the colours and the design, it was full of blues and pinks which was very popular in women's clothing, especially in dresses and skirts. There was also an exhibition room set as a festival with artificial grass and big screens all on the ceiling. It was fun to sit and chill for a bit enjoying the music because it was like being at a live festival! It was a fun day out with my friends on the train at the museum.
