Whitby 2025
Years 5 and 6 were incredibly excited to have their residential experience at Whitby last week. For some this was their first ’proper’ residential! The children have had a fabulous time over three days. As you can see from the pictures, it was an action packed time and the children smiled and laughed no end, as well as challenged themselves!
We enjoyed activities such as: fossil hunting; beach combing; pirate parties; and sailing on the North Sea. Phew! As well as all those activities each day, Whitby YHA is a stunning setting in the heart of Whitby. In the evenings we all enjoyed some free time outside in the sunshine. We even had time for a bedtime story (we are teachers after all). No wonder everyone was so tired when we got back after such a busy itinerary.
The staff from Willow Brook and Whitby YHA were very impressed with the courteous and cooperative nature of the children and it made the whole thing a really pleasant and positive experience for everyone. The children slept well (especially the second night!) and really engaged with all the challenges different activities presented. They should really be proud of themselves! We are.
I would also like to place on record my thanks for Mr. deMalplaquet, Mrs. Broadhead, Mr. Clarke and Mr. Devenney for giving up their time so willingly to help organise, run and ensure such a successful residential for all involved.
I hope your children enjoyed the residential as much as we did.
Mr. Litchfield
