After all, it is that time of year when we left the classroom, got on a coach and enjoyed some scenery on an exciting journey.

We have nine reminders of school trips – or children looking forward to them – from across South Tyneside.

Some went on an outward bound adventure. Others were getting excited about trips to the USA or Poland.

Wherever you were going, we hope these photos bring back happy memories.
