Leiden Residential 2023

On Wednesday, 16 of our Year 6 pupils had a once in a lifetime trip to Leiden, Holland with Mrs Dolman and Miss Key. We were also joined by children from Newton Primary School, Stonebroom Primary School and Westhouses Primary School.

 

We spent day 1 at 'The Deep' in Hull and got to take part in a sea-themed murder mystery activity as well as looking at all of the fascinating sea life. Then we boarded the ferry ready for the big journey! We all thoroughly enjoyed the buffet meal and were treated to a spontaneous foam party/disco and show in the evening! Everyone was exhausted and slept though the bumpy night! 

 

On Thursday, we disembarked at Rotterdam port and headed into Leiden where we spent the day exploring the wonderful sights. We had a river cruise; walked around the shops and finished off with ice creams by the windmill. Then it was back on the ferry for another delicious meal, disco and two shows! 

It was a very bumpy right on Thursday and there were a few queasy tummies!

 

Friday morning consisted of our final full English and a ride home. 

 

Mrs Dolman and Miss Key couldn't be prouder of our children. They had exceptional manners (this was commented on by a number of passengers and staff), behaviour was excellent and it was an absolute pleasure seeing their happy faces.
