Good morning,

Last minute reminders about Arthog:

• Children can wear their comfortable/casual clothing for travelling. This should be sports-style clothing and not jeans.
• Children will need a packed lunch for the first day. Please ensure that you have ordered one from the school kitchen (those entitled to free school meals) if you have not already done so by emailing the admin team.
• Children will need to take their water bottle with them. We take these out with us daily.
• Small torch for the night walk. Mrs Stack and I discussed this with year 6 yesterday. This does not need to be large or expensive, but is very useful for when walking at night. If you are not able to take a small torch/ head torch, children will be able to share.
• All waterproof clothing, wellies and walking boots are provided by Arthog and therefore children do not need to take their own.
• Please ensure that your child know where all of their belongings are packed in their suitcase. It is a good idea to have bedding at the top as the children will make their beds the afternoon that we arrive.
• No snacks/ drinks to be taken. Everything will be provided by Arthog and all dietary requirements catered for.
• Travel sickness pills will need to be taken before school and then staff need to be provided with travel pills for the return journey also.

  Please email the Year 6 Team if you have further questions.

Good evening,

To confirm, our assessment session is Friday 2nd October for Mrs Arthurs’ class. I appreciate that there has been confusion as the dates were changed by the swimming provider after we had sent out the first communication. The Arbor information is correct.

Kind regards,

Mrs Arthurs

Dear Parents/Carers,

Year 6 always have an incredibly busy Autumn term and as such, we appreciate that there is lots to remember. We wanted to share some key information for the coming weeks with you.

Jackfield Tile Museum Trip
Consent for this trip is live on ParentPay. Year 6 will be visiting the Jackfield Tile Museum on Wednesday 7^th October in Ironbridge to create high-quality tiles which are then glazed on site. We will collect these tiles a few weeks later once they have been fired. We appreciate that the cost of this trip is higher, but the quality of our finished pieces will be much better than we could achieve in school and give the children a fantastic experience learning about the Industrial Revolution in our local area. Please have a packed lunch for this day.

Arthog Residential
We have sent out a detailed letter and kit lists again today. Please note that the date is Monday 12^th October. Children attending will need to bring £10 in a labelled envelope in change please as Arthog rely on using the change that the children bring to be able to give the correct money back. We will need a packed lunch for the first day.

Arthog Outreach
Year 6 children not attending Arthog residential have two mornings at the Arthog Outreach centre in Telford. Please see the letter that we have given out today. Again, please ensure that your child brings a packed lunch as the children will arrive back in school at 12:30 and the kitchen will not be open at this point.

Swimming
This half term, we will have our assessment sessions only. Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, Mrs Arthurs’ class now have their assessment on Friday 2^nd October.  Mrs Stack’s class will be swimming the following week 9^th October. Please refer to ParentPay. We will be in contact regarding when swimming starts after the half term.

Thank you for your continued support. Please use the year 6 email should you have any further questions.
