Residential Visit We stayed at the Sea Life Centre until 3pm (we could have stayed much longer) - but we set off home after spending some obligatory time in the shop! One of the great things about this trip is that it is really gentle - it eases children and parents into residential visits, it allows you to get an enormous amount of experiential learning into the curriculum, it bonds new classes and it really builds the self-confidence of the children and makes them feel grown up. We were in the region for 2 days and this limited the amount of activities that we could do, but you could easily give the trip a more historical (or literary) leaning by visiting Whitby Abbey or the North York Moors Railway for example; there is so much to do and see in the area. Children's Kit List The Essentials 1 Large Sports Bag / Small suitcase & 1 rucksack Toiletries: Toothbrush, toothpaste, shower gel, shampoo, deodorant, sanitary products. Bath towel and hand towel Socks and underwear - 1 pair each day + 1 spare Pair of sturdy walking shoes or wellies Pair of trainers for the youth hostel 2 pairs of trousers / tracksuit bottoms (No denim) 1 Pairs of shorts Lightweight rainproof cagoule 2 t-shirts 2 hoodies (or jumpers) Sun hat Bottle of suntan lotion Substantial packed lunch for the first day, including snacks Named water bottle Optional Items Disposable or cheap digital camera A soft toy !!Contraband!! Sweets Mobile phone The key thing with fieldwork, especially in windy coastal environments is layers. Children in all likelihood will need to be able to add and remove layers during each day, so lightweight clothing is essential • Helpful Web Links www.yha.org.uk/schools www.visitsealife.com/scarborough/discover/school-trips www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/whitby-abbey www.nymr.co.uk If you would like to share a residential visit that you deliver at your school in the next issue, we'd love to hear from you!
