The children thoroughly enjoyed the trip which they found stimulating as well as informative. I was most impressed by the way in which the children were encouraged to 'take part' in the proceedings. Many thanks for giving us the opportunity to experience what life was like aboard ship four hundred years ago. The children thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt so much. It was an excellent start to our term's topic.
