Year 7 Trip Day

On Friday 28th June, 2024, our Year 7 students enjoyed an exciting Above & Beyond Month Trip Day, exploring London Zoo in Regent’s Park and The Story Museum in Oxford. At London Zoo, students roamed various enclosures, marvelling at majestic lions, playful monkeys, and exotic reptiles. Highlights included the Tiger Territory, where students observed the majestic Sumatran tigers, and the Gorilla Kingdom, which offered a close-up view of the gorillas' social interactions. The visit to the Reptile House, home to an array of fascinating snakes and lizards, also sparked a lot of excitement.

Meanwhile, another group ventured to The Story Museum in Oxford, immersing themselves in the magical realms of The Enchanted Library and The Whispering Wood. These interactive galleries brought beloved tales to life, captivating imaginations. The day culminated in a dynamic storytelling workshop, where students crafted and shared their own stories, fostering creativity and confidence.

This enriching day provided memorable educational experiences outside the classroom, reinforcing the joy of learning through exploration.

Amber, 7W and Maddie, 7S, who visited The Story Museum told us: “We really enjoyed the day! The Narnia room was magical and we enjoyed making our own wish in the Whispering Woods. The museum was really immersive and fun!”

Shaunav, 7S, added: “The trip was very entertaining and we’d all love to go back to The Story Museum again!”

Thank you to all of the staff who supported the trips.
