Year 6 students have taken part in a field trip to St Mary’s Lighthouse as part of their current Science work on habitats, feeding relationships and adaptation. During their visits the students learnt about the local geology, undertook a rock pool study and climbed the 137 steps to the top of the lighthouse tower.

Lara in 6S said “I enjoyed by visit to the lighthouse, especially the rock pooling and learning about the adaptations of the different animals”.

Alfie in 6S added “it was good getting a chance to climb the lighthouse. The view from the top was quite scary, but I’m pleased I got up that far”.

A big thank you to parents Mr Wilkinson, Mr Chappell, Mrs Weakford, Mrs Williams, Mrs Adams and Mrs Ricalton for coming along to the lighthouse to help supervise the children.

Thanks also to St Mary’s Lighthouse wardens Adam and Sam for making the day so interesting and enjoyable.
