Do you have an unbelieveably excited little one at home? Are they checking you have remembered to pack everything, including the kitchen sink? Well, they are probably one of the 45 children off to Beeston on Thursday!
The details are as follows:
The children need to arrive for school as normal for school on Thursday morning at 8.45am. The coach will be leaving just after 9.00am and we will be returning for around 3.30pm on Friday. If there are any traffic issues, then a member of staff will contact school to advise of a new arrival time.
As you
may be aware, it is Year 6 SATS week and so the hall is unavailable. KS1 area
will be available from 8.30am for you to leave your child’s luggage. We then
ask that you and your child return to the playground so staff can bring them
all together. As there is limited space, we would like to politely request, that parents
allow their child to come into school on their own. You may assemble on Chapel
Road if you wish to wave your child off. Many thanks for your understanding
with this.
Remember that they are only going to be away for one night, so the bag that they are bringing needs to be able to be carried or wheeled by them. Also, please ensure that their name can be clearly seen on the outside of the case.
If your child needs to take and prescribed medication, Mrs Malone will be around on Thursday morning to collect it. Also, please ensure that this has been included on the medical form.
Children can bring a teddy bear!
They will need to bring pumps, slippers or indoor shoes, as outdoor shoes are not allowed in the centre.
On the first day, they will need a packed lunch. It would be helpful if this can be put into a plastic bag, packed separately from the rest of their luggage, so it can be disposed of.
Children may bring up to £3 to purchase souvenirs from the shop at the Candle Factory.
WHAT DO WE NEED TO PACK?
When going through this list, please remember that anything taken, may get torn, WILL get dirty and, whilst we do everything possible to avoid it, but may get lost. Whatever they do take...
LABEL EVERYTHING WITH CHILD'S NAME AND ST.VINCENT'S.

Phew! What a list, but this is to ensure that
everyone is sure about the kinds of things that they need to take. Just think about
how much we all pack when going away overnight with the family!
A few children have asked if they can bring
Nintendos, iPods etc. Apart from not having the time for these, they could get
damaged or lost, so we would ask that these be left at home.
Although the children are SO excited now and sleep
may not be top of their list of priorities at the moment, just thing of the big
sleep they will have on Thursday night - not to mention the staff!
Year One
The Year One children will not be missing
out! Although they too would love to be going on the BIG SLEEPOVER, we have an
exciting couple of days planned for them too. Whilst their own class teachers
are in Beeston, both myself and Mrs Higgins will be having fun with making our very own SUPERHEROES!
We won't tell you too much, because there
will be some secret missions for them to follow and solve, using their reading,
writing and maths skills.
In order to help them get into character, we
would like them to dress up as their very own Superhero character on Friday.
Please don't worry about having to get the sewing machine out to design
something spectacular, it should be something that the children can put
together themselves, using whatever you can find lying around the house. We are
really looking forward to seeing them!
It will be a busy week, and one where there
will be a lot of tired faces by Friday evening!
Have a great week.
Year 1/2 team
