Dear Parents,

 

Year 5 trip to Marwell Zoo

 

As part of our current science topic about animals and their lifecycles, we will be visiting Marwell Zoo on Friday 20th May. We will be leaving school at 09:15 and are due to return to the school at around 16:00 (please note later return time).

 

Children should come to school in their school uniform on the day, wearing suitable footwear for plenty of walking. This can either be sturdy shoes, walking boots or trainers. Although the trip is towards the end of May, we will need to be prepared for our unpredictable British weather. We recommend the children bring a waterproof coat, ideally with a hood, and have sun cream applied before they come to school.

 

All children will need to bring a packed lunch and plenty of water for the day in a named rucksack. We recommend around one litre of water; a small carton of fruit juice will not be enough. The children will be carrying their own rucksack during the day and we will be bringing home all packed lunch wrappings and empty bottles. Therefore, it might be useful to include a spare carrier bag inside their rucksacks. If your child receives free school meals, and you would like the school to provide a packed lunch on the day, please indicate this on the permission slip.

 

Any children suffering with travel sickness should be given their medicine at home before coming into school and parents should provide class teachers with any medicine to be taken before the return journey. You will need to complete a green form, available at the office, authorising the administration of medicine. This should also be handed to class teachers on the morning of the trip.     

 

The cost of the trip is £21.00; permission slips need to be handed in to class teachers no later than Tuesday 17th May 2022. Payments need to be made on SCOPAY via www.scopay.com You can also make the payment through the SCOPAY mobile app which can be downloaded on the App Store or Google Play by searching for SCOPAY. Please log in with the same details you use for www.scopay.com If you have a question regarding your SCOPAY account, please email the school office on secretary@owlsmoorprimary.com  If your child is in receipt of the pupil premium grant, the school will pay the £21.00 to cover the cost of the trip, in line with government policy.

 

Should you have any further questions regarding this trip, please contact the school office or speak to your child’s class teacher at the end of the day.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

 

 

Mrs Fish
