Beamish Visit
Posted 18th March
Last Thursday some of our pupils had the exciting opportunity to visit Beamish. We had some lovely fish and chips for tea, and then we took part in carousel of activities. This included dressing up in 1900's clothing, a scavenger hunt around the town and playing with the vintage toys. We then finished off singing songs around the campfire with hot chocolate and biscuits. We would like to say a big thank you to Simon Woolley and his team for having us.
