To complement this term’s history curriculum work we have arranged for Year 4 to visit the Deva Roman Discovery Centre in Chester. Whilst there, they will attend a workshop on the Romans, learning all about their way of life, and be given a tour of Chester city by a “real-life” Roman soldier.

The visit will take place on Tuesday 22^nd October, departing school at 8.30am and returning at 3.15pm, in time for normal collection. If we encounter any significant delay on our return journey, we will do our best to keep you informed.

The cost for this trip is £20.50, which includes the cost of the workshop/Roman tour, transport and insurance. Payment for this trip should be made via your child’s Arbor account prior to the date of the trip.

Your child will need to bring a packed lunch and plenty to drink for this trip. Those pupils entitled to free school meals will be given a packed lunch by our school meals provider before departure. Please also ensure that they wear school uniform and have a lightweight coat with them. We will not be visiting the souvenir shop so no additional spending money is required.

Please note that this visit is covered by the Consent Form for Trips/visits & Medical Information. Please notify the school immediately if there are any changes to your contact/emergency contact details or medical information.

As part of this term’s science curriculum work, we have arranged for Year 4 to take part in an “Animals and their Habitats” workshop at Shropshire Wildlife Trust’s site in Abbey Foregate. During their visit, pupils will also do some pond dipping to discover the variety of creatures that live in that environment. Dolphins trip will take place on Thursday 11^th July; and Whales on Friday 12^th July.

Each class will set off shortly after morning registration and return to school around 2.15-2.30pm, so should be collected as normal at the end of the school day.

Your child will need to bring a packed lunch and plenty to drink for this trip – no glass bottles or fizzy drinks please. Those pupils entitled to free school meals will be given a packed lunch by our school meals provider before departure. We ask that children come into school dressed in their PE kit and bring with them a lightweight waterproof coat and a pair of wellingtons. If the weather forecast is predicted to be hot/sunny,  please ensure that they also bring a sun hat for protection. An application of sun lotion before coming into school is advised.

The cost of the trip is £8.40, which includes the cost of both activities. Payment for this trip should be made via your child’s Arbor account prior to the date of the trip. Although costs for trips are voluntary, in reality the school has no other means of funding these trips. We hope that everyone can contribute to the trip in some way.

Please note that this visit is covered by the Annual Consent Form for Trips/visits & Medical Information. Please notify the school immediately if there are any changes to your contact/emergency contact details or medical information.
