Residentials
On various occasions during their time at Crossdale, our children will have the wonderful opportunity to go on residential trips which take them out of the classroom and offer new and exciting experiences.
In this section of the website you can share some of these exciting times with us.
This year the children will be visiting:
Years 3 & 4 – Beaumanor Hall, Leicestershire
Beaumanor Hall

Year 5 – Robin Hood's Bay, Yorkshire
It’s just a few days before our residential trip to Robin Hood’s Bay. At school, our arrangements are almost complete and I’m even more excited than I was a few weeks ago!
I thought it might be sensible just to quickly remind you of the kit list which is printed on the back of the itinerary. (I have also added a copy of the itinerary to the “School Residentials” page of the school website.)
In addition, I’d like just to remind you of our arrangements for the first day. If you can get your children to school at 8:00 am. We’re going to try to leave before the traffic builds up around school and we want to be gone by 8:25 am – 8:30am.
We will assemble in the hall and visit the toilet before getting on the coach. We’ll need to do a register and have a chat to the children about the day ahead and we’d like to keep it calm and stress-free! Mrs Cox will be on hand so that you can her give any medication your child requires. If your child normally takes travel medication, please make sure they have taken this before we set off.
Please remember that your child will need a packed lunch, drinks (in resealable, plastic bottles please) and snacks for the first day. It’s best if you can send their lunch in disposable packaging so that they don’t have to look after a lunch box for the duration of the trip. Their rucksack / backpack for the first day should also include waterproof trousers and coat, sunhat, small fleece / jumper, hat and gloves (depending on the weather!), their inhaler, purse / wallet, and a small game for the coach – if they feel the need.
We’ll be back at 4pm on Wednesday 11th May. (During the course of the afternoon, we’ll use the school’s website to update you about our ETA). Please wait in the hall for us to arrive so that we can get the children off the bus in an orderly manner and make sure everyone is accounted for.
Give us a ring or pop into school if you have any questions.
I’ve included our kit list on the back so you can have a final check before the weekend; in class today we talked about checking the fit of wellies etc. if it’s a while since we last wore them.
Year 6 – Hagg Farm, Derbyshire
Hagg Farm
Year 6 visit Hagg Farm and surrounding areas for 4 days at the start of February 2011. Derbyshire is an amazing place and the children are sure to have a fabulous time out in the fresh air, experiencing some of Britains most beautiful countryside.
During our visit to Derbyshire Year 6 will carry out some wonderful activities and visit some memorable places. Some of the activities include a Countryside walks, Problem Solving activities, Rock hopping and the Adventure course.
The children will also learn to work well as a team (through a variety team building activities), becoming more independent in the house-keeping duties of laying tables, tidying up and making their beds!
