UpperswenttoCranedale

Cranedale was so much fun! I loved it, from fishing in the river, to chatting with my friends, from sitting down for supper or prepping the team on our orienteering When my sister came back 6 years ago and said it was the best time of her life I definitely did not believe her. How I was wrong! I have to admit, when I was told I had to do a lesson after supper, I groaned, but had no idea that we would be dissecting owl pellets and finding shrew skeletons, or making a stop motion animation film about limpets! I managed to spend 9-5 out and about, and learn so many geographical and biological skills! Please, Mrs MacDougall, take me again next year!!!Thisbe

From table football to wading through rivers, Cranedale was so much fun! From breakfast time to dinner time we were always entertained. At breakfast the Belgium Waffle with syrup was a particular favourite on our table - maybe on other tables as well! Each day it was like we were in a completely different country and climate, one day we were wearing hats, scarfs and gloves and then the next it was t-shirts One day we went to Bempton cliffs where we saw puffins, shags, gannets and many other species of birds We also went to the beach and studied rock pools and estimated how many limpets there were in the bay. We explored caves, walked through arches and saw stacks and stumps We went into many rivers, studied them and found lots of wildlife - and we also got very wet! Overall Crandale was an awesome trip and was so much fun. I would definitely go back again! - Florence M
