Manchester
In the Summer Term, our Year 5 children enjoy a wonderful residential to Manchester. On day 1, the children explore Jodrell Bank, linked to their Science topic of study, space. It's then time to bowl, dine and have fun at NAMCO amusements in The Trafford Centre - as well as a go on the dodgems!
Day 2 is yet another action packed day with the children enjoying a stadium tour of Old Trafford, followed by a guided museum tour, a 'Racism and Diversity in Football Workshop' (linked to British Values) and the rare opportunity to try on kits and boots worn by some of the team's most famous players! After visiting The Red Devils, it's then time for a very informative trip to the Manchester Museum. The museum provides lots of learning opportunities linked to current and prior history topics of study as well as a very enriching animal and nature section. Still bursting with energy, it's then time to head for a delicious evening meal and 18 holes of fun at DinoGolf!
On day 3, it's time to put on the skis as the children head to Chill Factor! The children make incredible memories and learn new skills through enjoying snowboarding, tobogganing, the snow park and a ski lesson. Naturally, they also have a play in the snow! What a cool way to conclude a truly fabulous residential.
