Pupils were abuzz with excitement this term as they went on a memorable sleepover experience at the Sea Life Centre in Birmingham.
The trip began with a visit to the iconic Library of Birmingham, where pupils explored its vast collection of books and amazing architecture, sparking a newfound love and appreciation for reading and the arts.
As the afternoon approached, pupils’ anticipation grew as the group made their way to the Sea Life Centre, where they were treated to an exclusive VIP tour after dark, complete with fascinating stories about the underwater world.
The highlight of the trip was settling down for a night beneath the centre’s aquarium tunnel, offering a very unique sleepover as pupils drifted off to sleep surrounded by marine wildlife including sharks and stingrays.
The excitement continued the next morning as pupils awoke to a special breakfast experience with the penguins, followed by a special VR workshop where they explored the depths of the ocean in virtual reality. This immersive session helped deepen their understanding of marine ecosystems and the importance of marine conservation.
This was a truly unique and unforgettable experience for the children at Holyhead, who are incredibly grateful to the Sea Life Centre for their warm hospitality and amazing learning programme, which has significantly enhanced pupils’ educational experience.
