All G32 year 7 students will be carrying out fieldwork at the location of the former Whitburn Colliery and Marsden Village near to Souter Lighthouse in South Tyneside. They will also be doing geology studies in Marsden Bay.
G32 Class 1 will be going on Wednesday 10th September
G32 Class 2 will be going on Thursday 11th September
Your child should now be able to tell you which class they are in, but please do ask your child’s crew leader if you are uncertain.
Students will need:
- to wear clothes that will keep them warm and dry – lots of layers.Â
- a waterproof coat is essential as the forecast is for sunny spells with showers.
- wellies or old trainers part of the fieldwork will involve studying the rocks in Marsden Bay which is a sandy beach.
- a packed lunch –Â if your child usually has free school meals, a packed lunch can be provided by the school.
- their school bag with regular school kit list inside including iPad. Most bags are not waterproof so we suggest putting kit inside a plastic bag inside the school bag.
Students need to be in school at the normal time of 8.25am on each day.
We expect to return to school in time for the normal end of day at 3.15pm but will update our website should there be any delays due to traffic.
