The children all settled down rearly quickly tonight. They have all behaved superbly all day. The coach journey was uneventful and we arrived at the hostel ahead of schedule. Only one child suffered from travel sickness on the journey (albeit four times) but Mrs Little was on hand -it's just a shame she couldnt do anything for the teddy whose head came off - a bandage was the best she could manage.
Once we arrived at the hostel the children discovered what rooms they were in and they soon got down to unpacking and making beds. Dinner was of its usual high standard. The spaghetti bolognese seemed to be the most popular choice for the children although I can recommend the beef cobbler.
After dinner we went for a walk through the fields behind the youth hostel. The weather has been fantastic today and it was still quite warm as the sun set. When we returned for the walk the children all gathered in the lounge for a bedtime story and then it was off to bed.
Tomorrow we are off to the Viking village (my personal highlight of the week) and York Minster.
The important question now is... what time will the first one wake?
Good night all - thanks for all the comments so far, all the staff enjoy reading them.

I'm glad to see that you all got there safely, and seem to be settling in quickly! I hope Ellis managed to get some sleep last night and was not too upset about his budgie dying on sunday. Any tears would be from that and not home sickness. Have a fantastic day and i hope you make the kids take lots of lovely pics of their trip!

So glad to hear that you all arrived safely and that everyone was settled into their rooms for the night. It was lovely to see the photos, and to read about some of the exciting activites that the children will be enjoying. It's very quiet at home, in contrast to the Youth Hostel I suspect! Have a lovely day tomorrow. Hannah's Mum.
