Some of Marine Academy Primary’s Year 6 pupils have returned from an incredible residential trip to Paris, full of memories and new experiences.  From exploring the iconic Eiffel Tower to tasting escargot, the trip was packed with excitement and adventure.

The children spent their days soaking in the sights of Paris, visiting landmarks such as the Arc de Triomphe, and the Sacré-Cœur. They did of course also have a day at Disneyland Paris taking on the big thrill rides, experiencing the parade and watching the visually impressive Lion King show. The trip included conquering the steps to the second floor of the Eiffel Tower and participating in the PGL Olympics which the pupils handled with plentiful enthusiasm.

Their evenings included a lively disco where they learned classic dance moves and chose their favourite tunes.  The children also enjoyed delicious dinners, which included fresh French pastries and they also got to cook up some culinary delights of their own.  Some of the bravest pupils even tried a French delicacy, escargot!

With tired feet but full hearts, the Year 6 children now return home, bringing back treasured memories that will last a lifetime.

Marine Academy Primary, which is part of the Ted Wragg Trust, is passionate about nurturing young learners and helping them grow into confident, curious individuals who are excited about their future and developing their cultural capital.

Georgina Reid Headteacher at Marine Academy Primary said:

"Our pupils had the time of their lives, taking in the history, culture, and thrills of Paris.  It’s been a wonderful opportunity for them to step out of the classroom and experience learning in a whole new way.”

Moira Marder, CEO of the Ted Wragg Trust said:

"At the Ted Wragg Trust we believe in offering children transformative experiences that go beyond the academic curriculum.  Hearing about the Marine Academy Primary pupils’ growth as individuals on this trip has been an absolute joy."
