Y3 River Visit to Perlethorpe Environmental
Education Centre 6^th May  2025

 

As part of our river topic next half-term, we will be taking the children to Perlethorpe Environmental Centre in Newark on 6^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 8.30am to get onto the coach.  We should be back for 3.30pm, traffic dependent. For those who attend after-school club, we will ensure they get there at 3:30pm. 

We are looking for one parent volunteer to kindly support us on the trip. Parents are 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.
