We are rapidly approaching the time for the Norfolk Fieldtrip. I will continue to post information up here about the trip as I receive it. At present I cannot tell you about the rooming allocation, but will do so soon. You can prepare by starting conversations with others about who you may wish to share rooms with.
UPDATE: I now have rooming information. Girls need to organise themselves into groups of 4, though there is one room of 6. The Boys dormitories we have been given are quite large this year (ranging from 10 people in a room to 14). If you give me groups of 4-6 I can then put two groups together. Alternatively, if you think you can get enough people together for a whole room then do so and pass either to your class teacher or Mr Spooner as soon as possible, hopefully by the end of the week (19th April)
All food is provided for you, though you will need to have money or a packed lunch for the journey down.
We are due to leave at 9.00am from Upper school on the Monday, so you should be in school at about 8.40am so we can get everything sorted before boarding the bus.
The sort of things you will need to bring are:
Sensible clothing. Layers of clothing are better as they can be taken off or added depending on the weather. The coast can get windy and you should make sure you have enough warm clothing. If you have waterproof clothing that could be useful. Jeans tend not to be the best things to wear as if they get wet they will be uncomfortable.
You will be walking about the coastline, so sensible foootwear is needed. If you have walking boots then bring them.
You should bring toiletries (toothbrush/paste, deodorant, shower gel/soap and a towel etc).
It would be useful if you could take photos, but the school will be providing photos when you return that you can use in your controlled assessment.
If you do take any valuable items then you should be aware that it is at your own risk. The last time we visited the centre there were no locks on dormitory doors.
You should bring pens and pencils.
Remember, that it is vital that you know exactly what is going on during the trip and that you are part of all of the data collection process as you will be examined on these when we return and you will not be given much (if any) help. The 2000 words that you write will be marked and is worth 25% of your final grade.
Ask your teacher if you have any questions.

What is Sustainable development?
Find out more about Sustainable development from these sites
Eco Schools!
You may or may not be aware that the government would like all schools to be sustainable by the year 2020 (see the video on sustainability above. There is another video below about practical things we can do to reduce climate change)
You can find out being sustainble means for schools by clicking on this link.
So....what is a sustainable school?
A sustainable school prepares young people for a lifetime of sustainable living, through its teaching and its day-to-day practices. It is guided by a commitment to care:
• For ourselves (out health and well-being)
• For others (across cultures, distances and generations) and
• For the planet (both locally and globally
A Sustainable School puts a high value on the well-being of its pupils and the school environment. We aim to:
• Waste little and recycle, compost or donate anything surplus
• Support local suppliers where possible
• Perhaps collect rainwater for schools ground maintenance and
• Have a zero tolerance approach to litter, graffiti and bullying.
• Save electricity and gas
• Reduce water waste.
• Look at using renewable energy resources.
If making sure the school is sustainable and doing the best it can for the environment is something that interests you then you should join the school eco team. Speak to Mrs Whewell or Mrs Pointon (go to main reception to ask for them) or go to the next meeting of the Eco group
