Dear Parents/Carers,

A very exciting overnight trip has been planned for our Year 4 children to Walesby Forest Outdoor Activity centre set in the heart of Sherwood Forest, departing on Thursday 5th July and returning on Friday 6th July 2018. During the visit the children will be involved in a variety of action and adventure activities. We’re sure you would agree this sounds like a fantastic visit and will allow children the chance to enhance their team building skills and enjoy a night with their friends away from home.Please be aware places on the trip are strictly limited to 36.

At Walesby Forest, fully trained and qualified instructors provide guidance in a full programme of activities in a safe, controlled and secure environment. School staff will also be taking part in the activities so that children are closely monitored at all times. Activities are likely to include Canadian Canoes, Raft Building, Body Boarding, Giant Crate Stacking, Quad Biking, Outdoor Laser Quest, however, you will be informed of the final selection of activities nearer the date.

We have limited the cost of the overnight visit to £65.00; this includes; accommodation, breakfast, lunch, evening meal, evening entertainment and all activities. A separate charge, of £5, for transport to Walesby forest will be needed nearer the time. School are subsidising the remainder of the trip. A non- refundable deposit of £20.00 is required to reserve a place, the rest of the cost can be spread out in instalments over the next few months. Final payment must be made by the 10th May, 8 weeks prior to the trip.

We are holding a meeting at 3.20pm on Thursday 21th September (Perfect Panda classroom) for you to find out more about the basic details of the trip; cost, sleeping arrangements, accommodation, activities, food etc. At the meeting you will have chance to ask any questions you may have before making your decision.

Deposits of £20 to reserve places will not be accepted until after this meeting has taken place.

Yours Sincerely

Mrs R Neadley & Mrs L Scullion
