Dear Parent/Carer of Emerald pupil,

RE: Year 3 Emerald Class trip to Devonshire Road Nature Reserve

As part of our History topic on the Stone Age, Jade class will be going to Devonshire Road Nature Reserve in the morning of Thursday 16th October 2025. Whilst there, children will explore the nature reserve and attend a workshop about life in the Stone Age.

We will be walking to and from the nature reserve, which takes approximately thirty minutes each way. Children should wear school uniform but may choose to wear trainers. They should also bring a water bottle and be suitably prepared for the weather (for example, with a raincoat if wet weather is forecast).

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

If you would like to pre-order a free school packed lunch for this trip, you must complete the online form below by Tuesday 30^th September 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).

The cost for this trip is £5 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.

Thank you for your continued support,

Mrs Clark
