Berridge Junior School

At Berridge Junior School our children work very hard all year, studying for the S.A.T.s tests in May. Apart from academic subjects, we aim to give our children a range of different experiences. So at the end of last term, as a reward for hard work and good behaviour, we took the Year 5 and 6 children to Gulliver’s Kingdom in Matlock, for a day out.

The children (and adults) had a wonderful time. Once inside the theme park, all the rides are free so they could go on as many as they liked, as often as they liked, in the time available.

It is such a pleasure seeing the children enjoy themselves, interacting with other children and adults outside the school buildings.

Our thanks go the Elizabeth Michael Associates for their continued financial support which makes such days possible.

Read the children’s accounts of their day at Gulliver’s Kingdom for yourself and find out how they felt about the day.
