Dear Parent/Guardian
As part of our Growth and Change topic, Year R will be visiting Swanwick Lakes Education
Centre. We will be taking part in
supervised outdoor group activities run by the centre to tie in with the EYFS
curriculum. Activities will include a
camouflage activity involving woolly worms,
a sensory ‘feel a tree’ activity and sweep netting.
The trip will take place on Thursday 23rd June. All children in the year group will take part
in this visit and in line with the Governor’s Charging Policy we are asking for
a voluntary contribution of £12 to go
towards the costs of both the centre and the coach. Please pay online if possible, via the link on
the school website. If not, cash or a
cheque to Hook with Warsash Academy would be acceptable.
We will be leaving the school by coach at 9.15 and returning
at approximately 3.00. The children will
not need to wear school uniform, although please dress them appropriately
depending on the weather! Please bring
wellies if your child does not have any at school plus a waterproof coat and
sun tan lotion if appropriate. The
children should wear long sleeves and long trousers as they will be spending
time in a grassy meadow. We have been advised
that at this time of year tics may be present so please check your child
afterwards and seek further advice if necessary. There is no shop there so no pocket money is
required. Please note that, whilst all
payments are on a voluntary basis, it may be necessary to cancel the visit if insufficient
contributions are made.
As part of the Government scheme to provide all Year R and
Key Stage 1 children with a meal, a school packed lunch can be provided. It
will consist of the following:
- A small
ham or cheese sandwich
- A piece
of fruit
- A plain
biscuit
- A drink
If you decide that you would like your child to have this
school lunch, please indicate on the attached form.
If you are able to assist on this trip and have had a DBS
check (CRB police check) completed through the school or are willing to have a
List 99 check please indicate on the form attached.
Yours faithfully
Early Years Team
