Castleton School Trip!

Date: 4th May 2022 @ 9:02pm

Today, year 4 went on an exciting adventure to Castleton.

We began our journey by coach, where we were able to see many hills and farm animals. Upon arriving at Castleton, we entered the Blue John Cavern.

This was frightening for some children, but everyone tried their best to be brave and we all successfully entered the mine. While in the mine, we walked down 245 steps! Although tiring, it was amazing to see the underground mine and all of the Blue John glistening in the mine walls.

After we finished our tour, we got back on the coach and headed into Castleton town centre for lunch. After lunch, we took part in a traffic survey - monitoring how many cars, vans, buses, motorbikes and bicycles went past. We will also complete a traffic survey in Clayton, so we can compare our results with those of Castleton.

The children were extremely well-behaved, and showed the world just how respectful, responsible and safe Ravensbury pupils are. 

We are so proud of them!

Well done year 4 :)
