1BN had an amazing time on our trip to Filey. The children enjoyed singing and playing games with their friends during the coach journey and before we knew it, we were there. We walked down the hill, catching that first exciting glimpse of the sea, and made our way onto the beach. After such a long journey we were all ready for our lunch and then we were straight onto playing in the sand, digging holes and building sandcastles. We had a short walk down to the sea, as the tide was on the way out, but enjoyed having a paddle and some of us ended up rather wet. The tide had left some interesting things to discover on its way out and lots of us found seaweed, shells, and even small crabs or crab claws.

Unfortunately, a downpour cut our time on the beach short so we had a quick change into some dry clothes and had a walk along the beach to the lifeboat station. When we arrived this was closed but a very kind lady opened it up so that we could have a look at the boats. The thought of enjoying a delicious ice cream helped us with the walk back along the beach then it was back up the hill to head home but not before we managed a quick go at the playground. What a busy and amazing day, even the rain could not dampen our excitement! A huge thank you to the parents who came along to help, without you trips like this would not be possible.
