Skegness Ability Group - The Deep Aquarium, Hull
Group: The Skegness Ability Group
Trip Destination: The Deep Aquarium, Hull
Date: April 2007
The Skegness Ability Group is composed of members from geographically dispersed rural areas in Lincolnshire. They organised a trip to The Deep Aquarium so that the children could come together, socialise, strengthen bonds and have an enjoyable time.
The Deep Aquarium uses a variety of hands on interactive audiovisual presentations and living exhibits to explore how the solar system, planet and oceans function. It has a vast array of marine life including 40 sharks and over 3,500 fish from a range of seas. The children even got a chance to walk under the water in a see-through tunnel seeing the fish and sharks swimming all around them and over their heads.
Oakleigh School - The Wiggles Concert
Group: Oakleigh School
Daytrip Destination: The Wiggles Concert
Date: June 2007
Pupils from Oakleigh School went to see The Wiggles perform at the Hammersmith Apollo and were very fortunate to meet and interview them personally. This lucky bunch were exceptionally charming and interacted with their favourite personalities. This was an amazing experience for the children as they adore The Wiggles’ music and use it as part of their curriculum to support their learning. Everyone enjoyed watching The Wiggles perform songs such as ‘Fruit Salad’ and ‘Dorothy the Dinosaur’. The pupil’s teacher thought it was a great day and would be hard to top. Thumbs up all round!

Daytrip Destination: Chessington World of Adventure

Link Up (1:1 Junior Club) provides children with learning disabilities the opportunity to develop friendships, learn and get involved in various activities in a safe and fun environment.
This year Link Up decided to go to Chessington World of Adventure for a memorable daytrip. The children enjoyed the daring rides such as roller coasters and runaway trains, as well as Chessington Zoo and feasting on a delicious picnic. This trip was a great mixture of adventure seeking children, smiling parents, lots of sunshine, laughter and scream worthy rides which led to Link Up having a fantastic jam packed day out. Super!
