Thank you to all of you kind parents and carers for your generous donations for our class trip this week.  We had such a fantastic day.  Children were an absolute credit to you all!  We began our trip all aboard the school mini bus. This is a great adventure for all children. We drove to the Metrocentre and parked in the coach park. This means we all got the chance to spot the trains over the pedestrian bridge before we even got there. Our first stop in the shopping centre was the Build a Bear store. We made our very own friend for class. Our 1B Monkey was named Melvin. We all had fun taking turns to press the special button to fill him up. We then took Melvin to the soft play area to allow everyone the chance to get out of chairs to play! Every single child enjoyed exploring the new surroundings.

After soft play, children were getting peckish. We enjoyed a treat at McDonalds. I could see how much everyone enjoyed the food. James bought his very own Muffin Milkshake from the Muffin shop to enjoy with his friends. After McDonalds we ventured on to the train. This experience, for lots of our children was a new one and one which some children had previously been upset by. Well, our entire class surpassed our wildest dreams. Every single child smiled and took in the whole experience. We were so delighted by their responses.  I know parents and carers will be super proud!

We loved our day out. It was fun filled!  Look out for our new class friend coming home with your child soon. One child per week will be chosen to take Melvin for the weekend. We look forward to sharing your weekend news with your friends in class.

Enjoy our photo’s.
