Active Learning Week 4th – 8thJuly 2016 - WET’n’WILD
STUDENTS WILL MEETBY THE POND AREA EACH MORNING
The week has a variety of physical activities which I hope the students will enjoy and also find challenging. Whilst none of the activities are hazardous they do involve students in physical situations where they may be asked to workindependently. Students are expected to show good behaviour, as well as respect for instructions from both College staff and activity centre staff. Students are expected to represent the College positively when involved with members of the general public. Failure to behave sensibly and follow instructions may lead to removal from further activities. Students need to wear clothing suitable for the activities.
Lunch is not provided, so students will need to bring with them enough food and drink for each day. If your child is entitled to free school meals a lunch will be provided by the College canteen.
TRAVEL
We will be traveling bycoach and students will be expected to wear seat belts on the bus. We will meet each day at 8.50am and will return each day by 3.15 pm in time for students to catch buses home.
