Year 5 had a fantastic trip to York! We met at Newcastle Central Station bright and early, full of excitement as we boarded the train to York.

Our day began with a visit to the Jorvik Viking Centre, where we learnt all about Viking life, including the items they made and traded. Afterward, we enjoyed a walk through the city to admire the impressive York Minster before settling down in the park for a picnic lunch.

In the afternoon, we explored the York Railway Museum, where we saw a fascinating range of trains, including a Japanese bullet train, the Mallard, and a replica of George Stephenson’s famous Rocket.

It was a wonderful day and all the children thoroughly enjoyed the experience!
