Year 3 Trip to Natural History Museum Wednesday 29th January 2025

Tuesday 7^th January 2025

Dear Parent/Carer of a Year 3 pupil,

RE: Trip to the Natural History Museum

As part of our creative curriculum, next term Year 3 will be going on a school trip to the Natural History Museum, London as part of our topic ‘Quakes and Shakes’.  The teacher-led tour will include the exploration of the Earth Gallery where children will have an opportunity to make observations, answer questions and make sketches.

We will also have the opportunity to attend a workshop led by museum staff. There is a charge of £3 per pupil which parents can pay via SCOPAY.

We leave at 9 am sharp on Wednesday 29^th January 2025 and aim to return by 3.15pm. We are using public transport to get to South Kensington Station and we will not be able to wait for latecomers.  Please ensure that your child is in school by 8.30am in order to be registered, use the toilets, and be ready to leave the building promptly at 9:00am.

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 Wednesday 15^th January 2025. 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). Lunch needs to be fully disposable and in a named carrier bag.

Your child must have a suitable coat and appropriate shoes on this day, as we shall be going whatever the weather!  

Please do let your class teacher know if you would be available to support a group on this trip.

Thank you.

Year 3
