Dear Parents/Carers

Activities Week – Monday 3rd July to Friday 7th July

Following our activities week information evening please find below the options available to our Year 6 pupils:

Option 1 – PGL Activity Holiday (£255) – 2 night/3 day trip to PGL Liddington Hall centre near Swindon. Pupils will participate in a range of activities to include kayaking, abseiling, giant swing, raft building and zip wire, amongst others. Cost includes accommodation, food and travel.

Option 2 – London Trip (£290) – this will be a 2 night/3 day trip to London where pupils will visit many of the sights including the London Eye, Tower of London, Madame Tussauds, take a trip on a river boat, visit Shrek Adventure as well as take in a show. Accommodation is in a hotel in Russell Square. All food and travel is included in a cost of £290.

Option 3 – School Based Adventure Package (£50) - Pupils will enjoy a day at Blackwell Adventure (land based activities such as archery) a day at Upton Warren Adventure (water activities such as canoeing) and then a ‘wellbeing day’ in school. This is an ideal option for those who may not be keen on staying away from home.

Option 4 – ‘Theatre Production in a Week’ - this will involve a visit to a local theatre and then putting together a mini ‘West End’ production to perform on the Friday. This will be a minimal cost and no more than £20.

Option 5 – Enterprise Week - pupils will become Alan Sugar Apprentices and learn the skills of making money through business! This will involve developing a product, marketing it to the local community and trying to make as much profit as possible! This will be a minimal cost and no more than £10.

We have tried to increase the options and have included a mix of residential and school based activities. To help with your planning it is worth noting that pupils currently in year 6 will also have the opportunity to join the February 2018 Ski Trip. The approximate cost of this trip is £1000 with a deposit of £200 due end of Feb ‘17. There will be a parent information evening held on the 14th December 6pm for those interested in the trip as this may obviously affect your choice of activities for this current academic year.

To assist with planning, could we please ask that you give an indication on the slip below as to which option your child would like to join by ranking their preference from 1-5 with 1 being the most preferred? Please return this information to school either by handing in the slip or emailing the office no later than Friday 2nd December. Please note Payments for School system is open for deposits however you have until the 25th January 2017 to pay.

Kind Regards

Mr David Snell
