Tattenhall here we come!
Do you have an unbelievably 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 Year 2 children off to Tattenhall
on Wednesday!
The details are as follows:
The children need to arrive for school as normal on Wednesday morning at 8.45am. The coach will be leaving just after 9.00am and we will be returning for around 3.30pm on Thursday. If there are any traffic issues, then a member of staff will contact school to advise of a new arrival time.

The Hall 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 in 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 any prescribed medication, Mrs Malone will be around on Wednesday 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 thinK 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 at Tattenhall, Miss Greenhalgh will be providing some exciting activities
for the children! Superheroes will be involved!
It will be a busy week, and one where there will be
a lot of tired faces by Friday evening!
English
In
English this week we will be looking at some stories by the fabulous author
Julia Donaldson. We will be reading The Gruffalo, The Gruffalo’s Child and Room

you write a book review with your child about one of their favourite books?
What do they particularly like about the book, what is it about and how could
you convince someone else to read it!

Science
This week we will be starting our new topic on
Living Things.
We will discuss
the things that living organisms need to stay alive & healthy, e.g. food,
water, shelter, sleep, exercise, etc. We will point out that some animals need
to be in water to survive, e.g. fish (though they can survive outside water for
a little while), but many animals cannot survive under water for very long,
e.g. humans who have to surface to breathe air or need to be using a scuba
diving tank! Do plants need the same things as animals? Plants need light to
survive, but they also need water and some nutrients from the soil.
Can you spot any living things on your journey to
school? If you have pets, what do they do that shows you that they are living
things?
Reminders
Thank you for your continued support.
Year 1/2 Team.
