Y2 Seaside trip

Dear Parents/Carers of Year 2 Pupils,

Thank you for participating in our poll. We had an overwhelmingly positive response so the seaside trip to Old Hunstanton will be going ahead to further engage the children with our learning about seaside holidays and animal habitats

Throughout the day, the children will get the opportunity to observe the beach and how it provides a habitat for animals, have an ice lolly, visit the Lifeboat Station where they will get to look at the hover and boat, as well as receive a talk on water safety alongside paddling in the sea, building sandcastles and searching for seaside treasures (shells).

Details

Date: Friday 20th June 2025
Timings: Please drop your child off at the KS1 building at 7:45am. We will aim to depart at 8.00am.
We will leave Old Hunstanton at 3:30pm, with an estimated return time of 6.00pm. Our journeys will include a service station stop.
