| Mountain Monkeys Ltd | The group arrived late with no message sent to school. A member of the team was having to self-isolate but no contingency plan had been arranged for this scenario. They were to continue with the visit and offer 2/3 of the planned activities. Then the climbing wall broke and so the first session ended up being a time-filler activity on the field. The climbing wall managed to be fixed and the children all took a turn. The course leader was very enthusiastic and tried his best to make a good experience out of a bad situation. The second person was young, shy and did not communicate well or interact with the children or staff. The course leader broke covid protocols a number of times and I had to remind him a number of times of our precautions. The course leader agreed with the company that they would return free of charge. It has taken four months and three emails to get a reply from the company and they then offered the week following the email reply, which was too soon. We are awaiting the rescheduling of the event. | 04 November 2021 | |

| Thinktank Birmingham science museum | We had an amazing day at ThinkTank - all the more special because this was the first school trip for many of our pupils due to previous Lockdown restrictions. Everyone had an amazing time and especially loved our show in the planetarium, which was pitched just perfectly for their age! MiniBrum was fabulous too and provided opportunities for much needed social skill development in the current climate. Thanks to all of the staff who made the day so enjoyable and easy! | 03 November 2021 | |
