Good afternoon,
We hope you have received the emails about our trip to the Severn Valley Country Park in Alveley, Shropshire.
We would love to take a parent volunteer to help out with each class. We will leave school at 9:20am and return at roughly 3:30pm. If you are able to help on one of the days, and don’t mind the potentially cold/wet conditions, can you please contact the office or email the year 5 team.
Tel: 01952 387720
Email: newdale.year5team@taw.org.uk
Miss Harrison’s class will be visiting on Monday 31st January.
Mr Banfield’s class will be visiting on Monday 7th February.
The trip will involve a lot of walking and, because of the time of year, it may be cold, wet and muddy conditions. Therefore, we are asking that children wear own clothes, for example:
– thermals/tights under trousers
– waterproof coat
– lots of layers (such as vest, long sleeved top and fleece)
– wellies/walking boots and thick socks
– spare socks/shoes for the journey back
– a hat and gloves
– a rucksack with a drink and lunch
Children will learn lots of Geography in two sessions lead by park wardens. Session 1 is orienteering (where children use an OS map to navigate around the park to find marker). Session 2 is a river study (children will walk along tributary streams, use floats to measure the speed of the stream at different points, and observe erosion and deposition).
Many thanks for your continued support,
Miss Harrison
