Dear Blue Class parents and carers,
RE: Young V&A Museum Trip – Wednesday 5th March 2025
To launch the learning of our topic next term: ‘Treasured Tombs and Fascinating Pharaohs’, Blue Class are visiting the Young V&A Museum on: Wednesday 5th March 2025
The children will have the chance to explore over 200 items on display in the gallery as part of the new Making Egypt exhibition. With interactive elements and hands-on activities, they will journey from ancient times to the present day, discovering how Egyptian stories and imagery continue to shape art, design, and popular culture.
There is no cost for this trip.
We will be leaving school promptly at 9:00 am, taking the Overground from Sydenham Station to Whitechapel and then taking a bus to the Young V&A Museum. Please ensure that your child is in school by 8:45 am as we are unable to wait for latecomers. We will be back at school well before 3:00pm in time for the children’s normal dismissal and end of day routine.
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
Due to the trip being next week, we are unable to take specific requests for packed lunches. We have ordered lunches to suit all dietary needs for the children in Blue class. 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 will need to wear school uniform, school shoes and a waterproof coat.
Thank you for your continued support,
Miss Babs
