Residential preparations

 

Dear Parents and carers,

I hope the packing and preparations for our year 4 residential stay are going well. Here are reminders of things that the children should bring or do:

• Everything you bring should be labelled (if you want to see it again).
• Children need a drink bottle, snack and packed lunch for the first day (and a backpack to carry it in).
• Children should bring at least 3 changes of clothes and a plastic bag to put dirty clothes in.
• Children should bring a toothbrush, toothpaste and other toiletries and a towel.  
• If children with long and thick hair coming to school with braids might minimise knots. 
• Everyone needs a raincoat and if you have them, water proof trousers. 
• Children need a change of shoes. Trainers for indoor and sealed surface use. Wellies or shoes that are happy to get dirty for woodland and use on the fields. 
• Children can bring a torch or nightlight. 
• Children can bring very small games, books and cuddly toys. 
• Children can bring a small quantity of sweets or snacks. This will be centrally stored (to avoid pests in the dorms) and so it must be labelled. 
• Any medication for your child should be given to a member of staff on Wednesday morning. Medication can only be given if a school medical form has been completed. 

Mr Spracklen will give updates to parents about how we are getting on via email. 

I hope you and your child have a restful evening.

Kind regards,

Ms Browne, Mr MacBean, Mrs Hall, Mrs Brooker, Mrs Bernard and Mrs Scott
