Our Year Five residential week takes the children to the historic village of Bamburgh. Situated on the North-East coast of England, this place will form our base for a wide range of excursions and activities. The aim of the visit is to first of all explore an environment which is very different from Maltby, but secondly enable the children to develop their independent skills by living away from home for an extended period. Whilst there, the children will have the opportunity to further enhance their learning (which will have already begun in the classroom) regarding the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings, as well as a contrasting locality between Bamburgh and Maltby. We will be staying at the Sunningdale Hotel which is situated a short walk away from the main beach and castle, in Bamburgh.
