The Pioneers took a daytrip to Whitby. For many it was their first school trip and their first trip on a coach and what a trip it was. There is so much to learn and so much to do. The Pioneers carried their own lunches and water bottles and looked after all their own kit. This is quite an achievement considering the many locations we visited.
Walking around Whitby is fill of risks and we assessed them before, during and after our trip, The Pioneers did a great job negotiating the narrow pavements and the pedestrians.
We talked about fishing and boat building before crossing the bridge for story and a snack in the Little Fox Bookshop which was fantastic.
Whitby Catch answered all our questions about what was for sale on the fish counter.
We spotted the new lifeboat in the water before visiting the old lifeboat in the museum.
Lunch was eaten in the Fisherman’s Mission which added to our learning.
We walked up the hill to the wonderful Whitby Museum where the awe and wonder was palpable. There was so much to see and we were made very welcome.
This was a very wonderful day out – Eight very happy kilometres together!
