EMAIL SENT 18/10/19Dear Parents,

Not long to go until we head off to London to see the amazing treasures of Tutankhamun. Please find listed below the information you need to know to ensure that your child is prepared for the day.

The trip takes place on Tuesday 5th November 2019

We will be leaving Minchinhampton at 8:15, so could you please make sure your child is in school between 8am-8:10am for registration.

If the cattle grid is still being worked on, we are going to need to walk up to Dr Brown's Rd.

We will not be able to wait for late arrivals, so please be prompt.

We will be leaving London around 3pm so should be back in Minchinhampton for around 6pm. We will contact you if we are delayed or expecting an earlier arrival.

If your child suffers with travel sickness, please make sure that you have provided them with the relevant medicine and notified their class teacher.

Your child will need to have a coat with them.

School uniform must be worn.

Your child will need plenty of drinks for the day (no glass bottles or fizzy drinks please).

Packed lunch - as it will be a long day, we suggest that you pack a substantial lunch so that they have food for the return journey as well.

No need to send them with a camera - we will take the photographs for them with school cameras.

They may bring a book, a pack of cards or travel game for the journey, but NO technology.

Spending money - not necessary to bring, but if they want to buy a few postcards or maybe a souvenir, they can bring up to £5. The museum will have a shop with postcards etc., but at this time they cannot give me prices of items.

If you have any queries, please see your child's class teacher before the end of term.

Many thanks

Year 3/4 Team

LETTER ONE - SENT OUT 8TH MAY
TUTANKHAMUN: Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh – Y3 and Y4
November 5th 2019
The letter is going out this early as we have to finalise booking early June.

Dear Parents,
We have received the opportunity to visit The Saatchi Gallery in London to see up close the treasures Howard Carter and his team discovered in Tutankhamun’s tombs! The exhibition will unveil more than 150 original objects from the tomb with 60 pieces travelling out of Egypt for the first and last time!

The trip will take place on Tuesday 5th November 2019. We will travel by coach (times to be confirmed closer to the date). We will send another letter out early on in the September 2019 with further details regarding lunches, spending money, request for helpers and coach times. The cost of the trip is £22.00. This covers the cost of the coach and entry into the exhibition.
As there may be another trip for you to finance in this current school year, we are asking that you only pay for the exhibition ticket before Friday 7th June 2019 which is £10.00 and then we will send another letter out with a reminder about the remaining cost to pay in September 2019.

Costs of trips can be problematic for all of us at sometimes. Please do not hesitate to let Mrs Bennett or Mr Moss know if you need to discuss the cost. We completely understand and can always find a way forward. Your child will never be denied a place on the trip if you decline to make a payment; however, the school cannot proceed with the trip unless there are sufficient contributions for it to be financed.

Optional trip for Y5/6 pupils to meet the author of the book: The Boy at the Back of the Class.

Dear Parents,

Please find below the list of pupils who will be attending the event on Thursday 7th November 2019.

If you are unable to take your child to the event, please could you sort transport with one of the other parents and notify Miss Smith of the arrangement.

The event will be taking place at The Stroud Subscription Rooms on Thursday 7th November at 9:45am-10:45am with a chance for book signing straight afterwards.

Could you please take your child to the sub-rooms for 9:30am and I will meet them outside the sub-rooms. They will need to be collected at 11am and taken back to school. I will wait outside the sub-rooms with them until you (or the parent that you have arranged a lift with) collect them.

As we are arriving back in time for lunch, there is no need for a packed lunch. However, if you wish your child to have a cooked lunch, please could they order it the day before.

If you have any questions, please see Miss Smith directly.

Many thanks,
Miss Smith

Dear Parents,

We have planned a trip to Westonbirt Arboretum on Thursday 7th November 2019. The visit will give the children an opportunity to explore the Arboretum using their senses and collect leaf litter. We will also be collecting words to enable us to write autumn poems.

The cost of this trip is £4.50 per child. Your child will not be denied a place on the visit if you decline to make a payment, however, the school cannot proceed with the visit unless there are sufficient voluntary contributions for it to be financed.
We will leave school at 9.00am and return by the end of the school day.

The children do not need any spending money. They will need to bring a packed lunch and drink (no fizzy drinks or yogurt please). We are looking for volunteers to help on the day. Please fill in the form below if you are available to help.

Please make sure your child comes to school wearing their Outdoor Learning uniform – school polo shirt, school cardigan or sweatshirt, jogging bottoms and school shoes. The children will wear school all in one waterproofs. If it is cold on the day the children will need an additional coat to wear underneath or over the top. Please be aware the children may get their coats muddy.

Please return the permission slip below with the money in an envelope with your child’s name on it. This should be sent to the office by Monday 4th November 2019.

Yours faithfully

Mrs S Bugg
