We’re due to have a Parent’s meeting this afternoon about the Year 6’s residential to London in June (the 16th).
We’ve used Cheshunt Young Mariners Base for our activities – kayaking, climbing and caving, and Mr Thomas has been using the centre for approximately 12 years now, even running an after-school climbing club there once!
Cheshunt Young Mariners Base
Cheshunt’s Youth Hostel is right next door to the centre and we’ll be using this as our base – a whole Swiss chalet to ourselves! Catering is brilliant and we’re also treated to a cooked breakfast every morning, unless we choose to have porridge instead, also available?!
Our Youth Hostel – (it’s the end one!)
We go in to, or travel through, London for lots of things. First whilst we travel in; seeing London for the first time is quite something for our children. A second time after our ‘outdoor day’ when we’ll be doing the London Eye in the evening and sight seeing until quite late. And a third time when we spend the whole day there – the Science Museum with workshops, more sight seeing and exploring and taking in a show too – Matilda this time!
The 4th day is put aside for packing up and a leisurely route back across the country where the children, most often or not, collapse into parents’ arms!
Sounds so fun!!!!!!!!!!!

Zac’s exclamation marks left the message box and shows he’s clearly more excited than you Kieron. Come on, some effort please, I want at least 64 exclamation marks! (I’m looking forward to it too!)
(Yes, I did count Zac’s exclamation marks.)
Me too, Kieron! I have booked the Science Museum this week – the Launchpad is available at 3pm for us. This is an area where you get to have a go at lots of different scientific exhibits for yourselves, looking at the way things work. Miss Hill suggested we might have a look at the Natural History museum on the morning of that day, so I will see what workshops might be available in there. Other than that, there are just the train tickets left to book.
I do hope the weather improves by June!
OK MR T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha, not counting!

I’m saying nothing about manners or punctuation. Or did I just do that? 😉

Afraid not… and it’s a new improved model too!
Hhhmm I quess it has changed over the last 12 years! I still had a great time though, Kieron is really looking forward to it 🙂 Sarah
