Feedback from Bucks Adult Learning group tour in March

Sally Wickens, ALDD Tutor, Bucks Adult Learning said of the tour

The tour was really interesting and engaging and my students learned a lot. They also really enjoyed themselves, they liked seeing the cauldron and the running track and particularly enjoyed pretending to be different members of the royal family cutting ‘opening’ ribbons.  The museum was really great too and my wheelchair bound learners found it very interesting hearing about the development of the wheelchairs for Paralympic athletes. After the museum (and a lovely cuppa and snack in the café!) we were treated to various items from different Paralympics that the students were able to hold and investigate and even try on. They thoroughly enjoyed this and not only was it fun, it brought together much of the information they had been given during the tour. At the end they were invited to write postcards about their visit and post them in a special post box in the museum.

Your centre is a superb resource for learning for people of all ages but it was particularly enjoyable to my disabled students and they really did have a great time.
