Year 5 Trip to Royal Observatory, Greenwich on Tuesday 9th July 2024

Tuesday 18^th June 2024

Dear Parent/Carer of Year 5 pupil,

RE: Trip to Royal Observatory, Greenwich on Tuesday 9^th July 2024

As part of our creative curriculum, Year 5 will be going to Greenwich Observatory. Whilst there, the children will enjoy a range of activities including an educationalist-led workshop and a visit to the Planetarium show.

The children will be taking the bus from school to the Observatory. Please ensure your child is in school at 8:40am as we will be leaving promptly. We will return before the end of the school day.

The cost for this trip is £6.00 per child. Please pay on SCOPAY TRIPS & EVENTS.

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.

If you would like to pre-order a free school packed lunch for this trip, you must complete the online form below by Thursday 27^th June 2024. This is to ensure that the kitchen staff have sufficient time to order in the correct food. Alternatively, you can provide your child with a home-made healthy packed lunch which should NOT contain fizzy drinks, sweets, or nuts (due to pupil allergies).

Please ensure your child has appropriate clothing for the weather and a coat or rain jacket if the weather forecast predicts rainy or cold conditions.

Thank you.

Year 5 Teachers

Mrs Cooper & Mr Gough
