Dear Cerise Parents and carers,
RE: Animals, Pond, River, Sea Workshop – including a visit to the Aquarium
To launch our ‘We are environmentalists’ topic, Reception classes will visit Horniman
Museum to take part in an educational workshop.
Magenta class will be attending on Monday 15th April and will walk to and from the museum.
Visit Timetable:
| Arrival time | Session time | Lunch slot | Aquarium | |
| Magenta Monday 15th April | 10-10.15 | 10:30-11:15 | 11:45-12:15 | 11:15 |
| Cerise Tuesday 16th April | 10-10.15 | 10:30-11:15 | 11:45-12:15 | 11:15 |
| Orchid Wednesday 17th April | 10-10.15 | 10:30-11:15 | 11:45-12:15 | 11:15 |
We will have some time before the museum opens to explore the garden and other parts of the museum. Each class will attend a workshop and visit the aquarium.
As we will be walking to the museum as well as spending time in the gardens, please make sure that your child brings a waterproof coat and comfortable shoes. Children will also eat their lunch at the Horniman.
Unfortunately, we are unable to offer a full FREE school packed lunch for this trip date, due to time constraints.
Therefore, we are asking parents and carers to provide your child with a home-made healthy packed lunch or sandwich which should NOT contain fizzy drinks, sweets, or NUTS (due to pupil allergies).
The school will provide bottled water and some healthy snacks to supplement the lunches.
There is no requirement for schools to ask parental permission for trips that take place within the school day. However, if you have any concerns about your child attending this trip please speak to your child’s class teacher.
The cost of the trip is £3.50 which should be paid on SCOPAY / Trips & Events. If you haven’t activated your SCOPAY account please contact the school office.
We need and would love some parent volunteers to come with us and enjoy the day. Please speak to your child’s class teacher if you are able to join us.
Thank you,
Reception Team
