Whitby

On Friday 27th September, Team LG took a trip to Whitby as part of their Geography topic. The children and staff took a boat ride on Captain Cook’s Bark Endeavour, walked up the iconic 199 steps and headed to Whitby Abbey itself for an educational workshop led by the Abbey staff. The children experienced what it was like to be a monk by dressing up in costume and handled archaic items such as keys, coins, pots and writing books. Unfortunately, the tide was out whilst in Whitby, which meant we didn’t get chance for a spot of crabbing. However, it did mean we had the time to visit John Freeman’s art gallery instead. The children even got the chance to meet him and ask questions!
