Dear Parents

On Friday 1 February we will be taking the children on a guided walk around the local area including the Old Town High Street, Marlowes and Gadebridge Park as part of our topic on Hemel Hempstead. The children will be leaving school at approximately 9:15am and will return before the end of the school day.

As the weather is often unpredictable (weather forecast pending!), please ensure that you send your child into school with appropriate clothing e.g. a waterproof/warm coat and suitable shoes for walking.

The children will need a packed lunch on the day. It would be advisable that they bring their lunches in a rucksack as this will be easier to carry around all day.

NO GLASS BOTTLES, CANS OR SWEETS PLEASE.

Those children in receipt of Free School Meals can pre-order a packed lunch via the School Gateway app.

This trip is free of charge. Please can you give parental consent via the School Gateway online system.

Once you have given consent, you do not need to return a paper permission slip. If you require assistance downloading the app, please see below or pop into the office.

Please can parental consent be made by Wednesday 30 January February 2019.

If you have any queries or concerns, please do not hesitate to speak to your child’s class teacher.

Thank you

Miss Duggan   Mrs Cole Mrs    Larner

Year 5
