Y3 River Visit to Perlethorpe Environmental
Education Centre 14^th May  2024

 

As part of our river topic this half term, we will be taking the children to Perlethorpe Environmental Centre in Newark on 14^th May 2024. They will participate in an action-packed day with a range of activities which include river studies and pond dipping to understand more about rivers. 

 

To make the most of the day, please ensure that the children arrive at school for 8am. For those children who normally go home with parents, please feel free to collect them from 3pm. For those who attend after school club, we will ensure they get there at 3:30pm. 

 

I also need TWO  parent volunteers who are able to transport a few children there and back AS WELL as support us on the trip. These parents to be DBS checked which we can process through school, if not already in place. Please could you let us know at your earliest convenience if you are able to offer support.

 

In the meantime, if you wanted to have a preview at some of the things the children will be doing, check out their website: hhtp: //nottsoutdoors.nottinghamshire.gov/uk

 

The children will need to wear suitable warm outdoor clothes as they will be going into the river and be working alongside this river. Please ensure the children wear outdoor clothes that they can get dirty in. They will need a pair of old wellies, waterproof jacket, a hoodie/old fleece and an old pair of tracksuit bottoms/trousers. They will also need a small bag of spare clothes incase they get wet. We do have some outdoor learning clothing and wellies which we can provide but please provide us with some notice before the trip and your child’s sizing details.

 

Your child will need to bring in a named packed lunch and drink. Depending on the weather they may also need suncream and a hat.

 

The trip will cost  £9.50 per child and all payments must be made on Eduspot, school money payment system. Login details will be sent out. We have set up instalments to support this.

 

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me or ring the school office.
