Year 6 Residential

Lesson: Geography

Class: Year 6 Year: 2024 - 2025

Year 6 Residential: Year 6 returned on Sunday from a fabulous hiking residential trip to beautiful Yorkshire, staying in the Malham YHA. We began with a stunning hike along the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail and the next day completed the circular walk around Malham Cove, stopping to see Gordale Scar and Janet’s Floss. There was also opportunity for exploring, fossil casting and a crash course in map reading. Everyone can now use a compass!

The behaviour of the Year 6 children was exemplary; indeed, they were one of the best groups we have ever taken away.  We received a number of compliments about the children's good manners and behaviour, as well as their good spirits and happiness being outdoors, from members of the public and staff at the hostel. Plus, the children showed amazing resilience - when it poured down with rain at Ingleton Falls, they simply put their waterproofs on and carried on hiking and chatting! They were all amazing. 

I would like to say a huge thank you to Mrs Bishop, Mrs King and Miss Privilege for giving up their weekend to make this experience possible as well as the 24/7 TLC they provided for our children. It is easy to take for granted the great generosity of spirit shown by Hatton Hill staff. We appreciate the kind comments we have received from parents.

The Ingleton Waterfalls Trail is a great day out for families. More information can be found here: https://www.ingletonwaterfallstrail.co.uk/ White Scar Caves are close by too: https://whitescarcave.co.uk/
