ENVIRONMENTAL STREET SURVEY - AVE – Friday 12th May 2017

Dear Parents I am delighted to inform you that the Y5 boys will be undertaking some fieldwork on Friday 12th May. As part of their latest topic, they will be completing a Geography Environmental Street Survey in De Parys Avenue. The field-trip will take place within the normal school day, either in the morning or the afternoon. The pupils will be escorted by teaching staff and will walk to and from De Parys Avenue. Boys may bring in a camera/electronic device to record visual evidence of the street survey, but they will be responsible for these. Boys should come to school in school uniform and bring a school coat in case of inclement weather. We will talk to the boys beforehand about road safety, and explain the importance of representing the school as sensibly as possible. Please do let us know if your son is fearful of dogs, as we will be conscious of this whilst doing the fieldwork. Please contact your son’s Geography teacher if there are any further questions. We often need a few parents to assist with the supervision of the boys and if you could help with either the first session (from 10.25am-11.55am) or the second session (from 1.30-2.45pm) then we would be most grateful. Please could you email [email protected] your preferred session and we will confirm in the week prior to the fieldtrip if your kind assistance is required.

Best wishes
