Y1 trip to Woburn

Year 1 trip to Woburn Safari Park

Dear Parents and Carers,

As part of our curriculum work on animals, we have organised a trip to Woburn Safari Park to further engage the children with hands on learning about a variety of animals. The children will take part in a classroom session with a Woburn expert and enjoy a guided coach tour through the safari.

Details:

Friday 20th March

Timings: arrive at school for 8.45am as normal and collect from school at 4pm.

Special clothing / items required: comfortable walking shoes, a named warm waterproof coat and a named water bottle.

School uniform should be worn.

Permission

Permission is required for this trip. Please use Parentmail to give your permission for your child to participate.

The trip has been thoroughly planned and carefully risk assessed by the trip leader, our Educational Visits Coordinator and by Miss Lally. A copy of the risk assessment is available upon request.

Please note, by consenting to your child attending the trip you are consenting to them travelling by coach.

Voluntary Contributions

This trip is to enhance our curriculum and we are relying on parental contributions to enable the trip to take place. We would appreciate you paying a voluntary donation of £27.15 to cover the cost of this trip.

Please note, if insufficient voluntary contributions are received, regrettably, this visit may have to be cancelled. The total cost of the trip is divided equally by all children in the year group and the school budget cannot make up significant shortfalls in voluntary contributions.

Please pay this amount via our ParentMail online payment system here https://pmx.parentmail.co.uk/#core/login or log in to your Parentmail mobile app. Payment to be received by Friday 13th March.

Lunch arrangements

Children will need a packed lunch for this trip. Hatton Catering can provide a packed lunch for free for all children but these must be requested online using the SchoolGrid system by midnight on the previous Wednesday of the week it is required.

If your child already has a lunch option booked for the day of the trip this will be cancelled and you will need to rebook the ‘School Trip Packed Lunch’ option via the SchoolGrid system by midnight on the previous Wednesday of the week it is required.

Alternatively, if you would like to provide a packed lunch from home this must be in a disposable carrier bag with a maximum of 2 drinks (no glass bottles and no fizzy drinks), healthy snacks only please and no nuts due to allergies.

Yours sincerely,

The Year 1 team
