Newcastle schoolchildren cycle to North Shields before going to Holland to learn Dutch way of life

Children at a primary school cycled 14 miles before travelling to Amsterdam to learn about life in The Netherlands.

The year five and six pupils from West Denton Primary, in Newcastle, started their journey with the 14-mile bike ride from their school to the International Passenger Terminal, in North Shields. They then boarded a DFDS ferry for a four-day trip to Amsterdam.

The trip was part of the Government’s Turing scheme, which provides funding for post Brexit opportunities in education, and its aim was to give children a chance to meet Dutch students and learn about life in their country.
