There are prizes to be won and some refreshments will be provided, courtesy of the school PTA.

If an adult would like to support us by volunteering as the QUIZMASTER please contact one of the Y5/6 team.

See email for further details and team registration form.

Please contact  your child’s teacher if you require further information.

Kit List

 

• 3 sets of warm, outdoor clothes – these clothes may receive heavy wear, so bring old but sturdy trousers, shirts/t-shirts, jumpers/sweatshirts

Jeans are unsuitable for all day activities on this trip and leggings do not keep the children warm as outerwear. Layering will help the children to keep warm in the outdoors.

• Waterproof coat.
• PJ/Nightwear
• 1 set of indoor casual clothes & shoes (slippers or pumps are ideal)
• 3 pairs of thick socks- essential for blister prevention
• Old training shoes for activities
• Walking boots if you have them (they can be borrowed from the Centre if not)
• Waterproof trousers if you have them (they can be borrowed from the Centre if not)
• Leggings or thermal underwear are valuable for layering in winter.
• Hat and gloves (sun hat if forecast is favourable!)
• Rucksack and water bottle – these will be used every day
• Toilet kit- soap, shampoo, towel (hand and bath) etc- roll on deodorants only, no aerosols please.
• Pen and notebook

The children can bring an optional £5 spending money (this is to be in a named wallet)

Please note your child will need to be able to manage their own luggage during the trip.

No mobile phones please!

Thank-you to all of the parents who were able to attend the Castleton meeting last week. For those of you who were unable to attend, please find some of the information here. Any questions or concerns, please speak to your child’s class teacher.

Feel free to leave any helpful tips or comments on here: perhaps if you have some spare kit items that you would be willing to lend other children, or if you have older children who have visited previously and you can offer useful tips for parents.

Don’t forget to bring in your entries for the science fair which will be held on Tuesday 23rd February.

 

The theme is ‘Flight‘ and all of your home-made projects will be collected in the hall where you will present them to the judging panel in the afternoon.

We we will enjoy part of the day exploring the science of ‘flight’ in our classrooms too.

The year  6 teachers are very excited to see all of your entries- and if kyou haven’t created one yet, you still have time to think of something- it just has to be around the theme of flight!

 

 

Good old luck to all of you entering!

Hello, I was just wondering if someone could explain the Wii to me?

I am thinking of buying one for my son’s birthday but I am not sure how it works. Is the console the actual system? What else is useful and fun that I should get? I am totally confused when I look at the accessories etc online and don’t know what to get. My son is 8 so I will need some games that are suitable for him and I am interested in the fitness thingy but don’t undertsand how that works.

Please could you experts help me out?

Thank you

Confused Mum
