Trips and Visits
Trips and Visits play a huge part in our curriculum; offering our children a variety of experiences that compliment and enhance the learning that takes place in the classroom. We are very excited to be able to go on trips again having not been able to for the last few years.

Year 5 Trip To Jodrell Bank 2025
Tuesday 25 Fabruary
Year 5 kicked off their Earth & Space topic with a trip to Jodrell Bank on Tuesday. We had a fantastic day and learnt all about our solar system, the moon landings and saw the famous Lovell telescope up close. The children were fascinated and fully engaged in the experience. It was lovely to see their enthusiasm and their behaviour was fantastic!
Young Voices 2025
Monday 24 February
We took 60 staff and children to the Co-Op Live Arena in Manchester for the Young Voices Concert 2025. The children have spent the past few months practicing the songs and learning the dance moves and they blew us away with their beautiful singing, confidence and enthusiasm. This is such an incredible opportunity to experience arena concert atmosphere and be a part of something so special. We hope our parents and carers who came along enjoyed it as much as we did. We can’t wait for next year!
Year 2, 3 & 4 Trip To Chester Zoo 2025
Thursday 16 January
On Thursday, Year 2, 3 and 4 had a wonderful day at Chester Zoo. The weather was incredibly kind to them and they got to see lots of different animals such as penguins, jaguars and orangutans. The children really became immersed with learning about different species and anticipating the next animals they would spot. It was lovely to hear them on the coach journey home, talking to their friends about their favourite animal. The children’s behaviour was impeccable as usual.
Year 5 & 6 Trip to Chester Zoo 2024
Monday 11 November
Y5 and Y6 had a fantastic visit to Chester Zoo on Monday, packed with lots of awe and wonder moments! Laughing at the antics of the monkeys, learning about the endangered snow leopards and even making conversation with the penguins! We were fascinated to learn that as soon as baby Komodo dragons hatch, they have to run up the nearest tree or else their parents will eat them! This visit was an inspiring start to our Y6 Science work on "Living Creatures and their habitats"
Foundation Stage and Year 2 Owl Visit 2024
Wednesday 6 November
On Wednesday, Foundation Stage and Year 2 had a special visit from some magnificent owl species. It was a wonderful learning experience to promote the children's English books 'Owl Babies' and 'The owl who was afraid of the dark'. The children were so well behaved and showed off their knowledge to the visitor, who was very impressed with the facts that they shared. It was lovely to see some children, who at first felt nervous, build up their courage and show bravery by getting close and interacting with the different owls. It was a great afternoon and the children and adults thoroughly enjoyed it!
Year 2 Trip to Staircase House 2024
Tuesday 1 October
Year 2 travelled back in time, to 1666, where they became eyewitnesses of the Great Fire of London. This immersive learning experience allowed the children to gain many facts and share their knowledge from school with the staff at Staircase House. They took part in drama activities and role play as they explored different rooms of a house from 1666. Year 2 asked excellent questions to deepen their understanding of the Great Fire of London and they behaved beautifully, setting a wonderful example of the Brook Acre way.
Previous Trips
The children at Brook Acre have experienced a wide range of trips which will enhance their cultural capital and give them a platform for an amazing future. Here are some of the experiences that the children have enjoyed.
