Dear Parents,

We have arranged for a mobile farm to come into the school to visit the children in nursery. The farm will be visiting us from 10am-2pm on Friday June 21^st. If your child is not normally in on that day, you may bring them along to the nursery classroom at 10am for the morning session, or at 12:30pm for the afternoon session so that they can visit the farm.

The purpose of the visit is to complement our topic Growing and Changes this term. The children will have the opportunity to come into close contact with animals such as sheep and lambs, goats and kids, piglets, miniature donkeys and ponies, rare breed poultry, ducks and geese, hen and chicks, giant rabbits, guinea pigs and a farm dog. The emphasis is on touching and feeding the animals to build confidence and awareness. Please let us know if your child has any allergies to animals.

The cost of the visit will be £8.95 per child and this will need to be covered by a ‘voluntary contribution’. Under the terms of the Governors’ Policy on charging, if the full costs are not met by ‘voluntary contributions’ from parents, the visit may have to be cancelled.   Please return the form and money to a member of the nursery team by Friday 14th June. If your child is in receipt of Pupil Premium, then the school will pay the £8.95 in line with the government’s policy on pupil premium.

We naturall hope that all the children are able to participate.  If there is any difficulty with regard to the contribution please will you contact me, as assistance with the contributions may be possible.

Should you have any questions regarding the proposed visit please do not hesitate to contact us.

Yours sincerely

Miss Edwards

Nursery Teacher
