As part of this term’s Science curriculum work on animals and their habitats, we have arranged for Year 4 to visit Rea Brook Valley Nature Reserve. Dolphins will visit on Tuesday 8th July and Whales on Thursday 10th July. Whilst at the Nature Reserve, pupils will do some pond-dipping and take part in a workshop provided by Shropshire Wildlife Trust staff.
Both classes will leave school immediately after morning registration and return around 1.00pm. Pupils will need a packed lunch for this trip – no glass bottles or fizzy drinks please. Those pupils entitled to free school meals will be given a packed lunch – comprising a sandwich, a packet of crisps, a piece of shortbread/ flapjack and a piece of fruit – by our school meals provider before departure. If your child would prefer to bring a packed lunch from home, please let the teacher know so we can instruct the kitchen staff not to make a lunch for them.
The cost for this trip is £5.00 per child, including the 2 workshops. Payment should be made via your child’s Arbor account prior to the date of their trip please.
Children should wear their PE kit for this trip, and bring along a light waterproof coat for possible inclement weather and/or sunhat and sun cream if the weather proves necessary. Wellington boots will be essential as we will be pond-dipping and going in the water.
In case of an emergency or medical incident during the trip please can you check that your contact details are up-to-date on Arbor prior to the trip. Thank you for your assistance.
