DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
Three BUYE (Brush Up Your English)
classes have arranged with Alex
Richardson, their course tutor, to go
on a visit to Manchester Museum on
Wednesday 23rd April and Liverpool
World Museum on Thursday 24th
April.
They have been researching
information about the museums’
artefacts which are on display. Some
of their findings and written articles
are on the display board along the
corridor of C Floor near the Skills For
Life staffroom.
The students hope that the trip will
give them the chance to see the
objects close up and discover even
more information about the topic area
they have chosen to research.
They will be taking photos of their
visit, including a mystery stowaway,
which will be added to the display
board.
Welcome to the 1st edition of “The Word”, a Skills for Life magazine
produced half termly to keep you informed of what is happening around the
college. In future editions we hope to include student views and experiences.
Come and see what you are missing!

Skills for Life held a quiz with a literary theme.

join in the fun. Below are some pictures taken on the
day. Business and ICT held a 5-a-side football
tournament with over 60 students and staff
turning up to take part. The eventual
