Dear Parents and Carers

FOREST SCHOOL ARRANGEMENTS

We wanted to let you know about our Forest School arrangements for the Summer Term 2017. Times of Forest School sessions may be subject to change due to other events happening in school.

Dates for Forest School sessions Summer Term Year 6 - Silverbirch Thursday: 15 June, 22 June, 29 June (morning session) Year 6 - Redwood Thursday: 15 June, 22 June, 29 June (afternoon session)

Changes to uniform and Forest School Further to the communication last year in the newsletter, children who are going out in the morning session should come to school wearing Forest School kit and bring uniform to get changed into. Children going out in the afternoon session should come to school wearing uniform and get changed into their Forest School kit after lunch.

What your child will need Your child should have the following in school for every Forest School session:

 Waterproof trousers  Waterproof coat  Sturdy boots (not trainers)  Long sleeved top and long trousers  Jumper or fleece (layers are best to keep children warmer)  Spare clothes  Extra pair of socks  Scarf (a snood is safest)  Gloves and hat  A named bag big enough to fit everything in (children should be able to pack their kit away themselves)

If your child does not have the correct clothing and footwear for Forest School, they may not be able to attend the session. If you need assistance or advice, please see your class teacher.

Yours sincerely

G Maker
