6th May 2016 Year 4 – Trip to the London Sea Life Aquarium Thursday 23 rd June 2016

Dear Parents,

We have arranged to take our Year 4 Children on a trip to visit the London Sea Life Aquarium. This supports our topic called ‘Blue Abyss’ all about underwater life and sea creatures. We will also be having a talk from one of the staff about creatures underwater.

The trip will take place on Thursday 23rd June 2016 and we plan to travel via tube from Totteridge and Whetstone to Waterloo on the Northern line. The children will leave school promptly at 9.00am and are due to arrive back at 3.15pm. Children should wear full school uniform. Depending on the weather, you may wish to provide your child with water proof clothing. They will need to bring a disposable packed lunch with them, preferably in a small shoulder bag or backpack.

To assist with supervision, we will need a small number of parent volunteers to accompany us. Please indicate on the permission slip whether or not you would be able to help. We will contact parent helpers before the trip. If you do not hear from us please presume that your help is not required on this occasion.

This trip is an activity for which by law we are unable to make a charge. However, the trip cannot take place unless we raise enough money by voluntary contributions to cover the costs involved. We are fortunate in the high level of support that we have received from parents in the past, which has ensured that all the planned trips have been able to proceed.

We are asking for a voluntary contribution of £10.45 to cover the cost of the tickets and talk. Payments should be made by Friday 10th June 2016, using our Wisepay system if possible.

Please print, complete and return the bottom section of this page.

Yours sincerely

Miss Byrne Mrs Desbois …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………….……………… Please complete and return to your child’s class teacher in an envelope marked with your child’s name, class and “Sea Life Aquarium” (return by Friday 10 th June 2016).
