Haverstock go to Overstrand

At the end of June 8 lucky Year 10's joined Miss Chadwick and Miss Scott at Overstrand in Norfolk for four days. They had the opportunity to learn about coastal management along the North Norfolk Coast, investigate how rivers change and see the impact tourism has had on the area. I am sure they will all agree that they learnt far more by visiting the area rather than being in the classroom.

There was plenty of time for relaxation and fun with games of aeroball, laser quest, archery, a leap of faith, a camp fire with pizza, riddles and dancing and even a (disappointing) England Match. Miss Scott and Miss Chadwick were a bit concerned about their ability to teach when Mark said he was looking forward to going back to England! Thanks Year 10's for making the trip so much fun! Look out for application letters for February's Morocco trip after work experience.

Good Luck

Good luck to all of you tomorrow. See you at 11am for revision and warm up!
