Favourite Moments
Some of Y5's favourite moments on the Whitby visit included shopping,
investigating portraits, rockpooling and the quiz night.
The 7 members of staff accompanying the girls commended the whole of Y5 for their exemplary behaviour and their ability to get off to sleep quickly!
Mrs Hart wishes to say a huge thank you to the girls for this and to all the staff who have made the trip such a success!
Thank you also to Mr Atkins for making this blog possible. (Just doin' my job, ma'am - Ed)

Searching hard for evidence of life.
The weather wasn't promising, but we
piled on our layers and persevered. We were rewarded by finding a surprising
range of creatures. The pressure was on to find a crab. Alive if
possible!
More photos of us rockpooling
... this turned out to be one of the main
highlights of our trip to Whitby.
Fishing for our supper!
What was on the menu?
Fishy bites! They were delicious and freshly cooked for us by the wonderful Sneaton Castle staff.

More intrepid rockpoolers.
Y5 found a baby shrimp, hermit crabs,
periwinkles and dog whelks in the rockpools. We learned that dog whelks
are carnivores and periwinkles are herbivores.
Following the village trail was interesting too as we saw evidence of coastal erosion and found an old chapel where John Wesley preached.

Mutiny on the Whitby (Trip)
The crew have finally decided to mutiny and have made a break for home!
So it's goodbye from her and it's goodbye from me!
We are now bound for the fair shores of Sheffield.
ETA is 4pm to 4.15pm. Hang on, that's the R.A.F.!

African Grey Parakeets?
After hearing about the menagerie of African Grey parakeets kept by the nuns
at the priory at Sneaton, pupils were heard to say "I actually saw one
in flight and I heard them this morning!"
Sorry Y5, this was our little joke! There are no parakeets at Sneaton...but the nuns do belong to the Holy Order of the Paraclete! I didn't think anyone would spot the difference on the sign. Looks like I was right!

Looking round Whitby Museum at Pannett Park...
.... fascinated by the minute detail of the antique dolls' house furniture.

We managed to steer them past the fortune tellers...
but Brian, our coach driver, said the weather would improve this afternoon.
Talking to the lady who makes the Whitby Lucky Ducks.
"We haven't got much business in Outer Mongolia."
Quiz Time
In teams, we tackled some tough quiz questions set by staff... bonus
marks awarded for alliterative answers!
High Five for Year 5!
The caterpillar's caption says it all! We have some goodbyes to say at the end of this week, but we all enjoyed a piece of cake and a bedtime drink. Now it really is time for bed...
