5 years ago Posted on 21st Jun 2021 by Mr Banfield Year 5 Important Edgmond Hall Information Dear Parents/Carers, We have received the following information from Edgmond Hall regarding our trip on Friday: Pupils will need to bring a packed lunch with them and drinks for the day (a water bottle and a drink for lunch). As part of our commitment to proactive environmental education we ask all children and visiting staff to take their rubbish home with them to be recycled appropriately. We recommend that children and visiting staff wear suitable outdoor clothing, e.g. long trousers and long sleeved tops and bring a waterproof coat. Wellies are ideal as they help protect against nettles / long grass in the summer and are good in muddy ground. Old trainers or walking boots are ok too. If the weather is sunny, please can children come with sunscreen and hats to protect them from the sun. It is useful for children to have a minimum of two layers. Thank you for your support, The Year 5 Team
