Key Stage 1 Trip to Felixstowe


















The keystage one trip to Felixstowe was fantastic on 10th June. We had wonderful weather in spite of a dreadful forecast. We started off at the top of the town and walked down to the front completing a tally chart of some of the shops that we saw. We are going to do the same in Framlingham and compare the two places as part of our geography work this term. We then had lunch sitting on the front and afterwards spent the afternoon paddling in very, very cold water and searching for shells, stones and making sandcastles.
Our thanks go to Stuart and Shane of Thompsons coaches who dropped us off, picked us up and even took our lunches down to the front. Thanks also to the Mums who braved the cold water to allow everyone wanted to paddle and one or two of us to get soaked!

All the classes were were very good at crossing some very busy roads. Several people came up to us and commented on how well behaved and sensible our children were. We very very proud of them. A few of us fell asleep on the coaches coming home (even Mrs Elphick had forty winks. We think this is a first). All of us were exhausted that night after such a brilliant trip.
