Y5 Residential (Day 2)

Another fabulous day yesterday with my Year 5 pupils from Birchwood Primary School (Tamworth) on the second day of their residential trip to the North East of England. We enjoyed a glorious walk around Newcastle in the sunshine, taking in all the sights and learning about the history of the bridges and the River Tyne, followed by a fantastic visit to the Life Science Centre. Then it was time to return to the Midlands after a wonderful North East adventure. My good friend (and Birchwood headteacher) Neil Coleman and I are proud of many things we’ve achieved in our 25 years in education, but this special link between our two home regions is certainly one of the things we’re proudest of and enjoy greatly each year.
