Year 9 Field Visit to the North Norfolk coast - 10 May 2006

The next scheduled visit will be the curriculum visit for Year 9 to the North Norfolk coast. Pupils will pass through the flat fens of Cambridgeshire learning something of land reclamation and the intensification of farming to the coast at Hunstanton where they will examine the effects of coastal erosion and human attempts at controlling it. Further stops at Brancaster and Burnham-Overy-Staithe will involve a trek through some saltmarshes and studies of succession through some sand-dunes. The exact itinerary will be weather dependent with an optional stop at Wells-next-the-Sea.

We shall be leaving school at 8am and returning for 7pm. Pupils will need a packed lunch and plenty of water to drink. A waterproof jacket is essential and trousers should be non-denim and quick-drying. The day will involve long periods in a fairly exposed environment and suncream will be essential and pupils who suffer from hayfever are advised to take antihistimine. Pollen counts are normally fairly high across the saltmarsh at this time of year.

Please ensure that the form of consent is returned to school as soon as possible, but no later than 2 May.
