On Wednesday 12th June, year 5 and 6 visited York for their residential... The trip was designed to cover aspects of History previously taught as well as expose children to the cultural diversity of a city. 

Over the three days, the children visited Eden Camp to find out more about the wars, they listened to tales of ghosts past as we walked through the cobbled city streets on our first evening. 

Headley House Hotel was the perfect base and the following morning we walked to the Railway Museum, York Minster and then Jorvik and The Dig... Evening entertainment on day two was posh clothes and a game of bowling together.

The final morning was a celebration of the cocoa bean.... chocolate! 

We took a trip to South America and discovered the journey of chocolate to the shores of England and eventually York! Being surrounded by chocolate all morning was tempting on the taste buds, but we did get to try the chocolate in its varying forms! 

We ate our dinner to the sounds of a Spaniard playing his guitar and singing - some of us even attempted a dance! 

What a fabulous trip this was and hopefully one that will be remembered for a while!
