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 & 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.
