Year 8 had a fantastic trip to Letton hall this year. We
began our trip by visiting Stonham Barns Owl
Sanctuary in Suffolk, where the children watched a
birds of prey flying display. We then went to the
meerkat enclosure where the
keeper gave us a talk about how
they live and what they eat.
Day 2 we went go-karting, which the children loved
and also and found out about the history of Letton
Hall. After yet another lovely meal cooked by Mrs
Boot it was off to bowling where I was soundly beaten
by the children in my team.
Day 3 was spent at High Lodge in Thetford Forest. It was lovely to see the
children playing together on the adventure play equipment and helping to
build dens. When we got back to Letton Hall, Mrs Boot prepared a lovely
roast dinner before Mr Gardiner lit a bonfire and we all toasted
marshmallows.
Day 4 was an early start to get to the boat to see the
seals. After lunch it was a short drive to Wells-Nextthe-Sea to have fun on the beach. In the afternoon we
went into Wells to have a fish and chips. The staff
were really friendly and gave the children a bucket
and spade and a free soft drink.
On the last day they had another go on the
go-karts before having lunch and heading back to
school.
Whilst at Letton Hall, Jon and Gill looked after us
really well and made us very welcome.
A big thank you to the staff and children for a fantastic trip.
