TOWER OF LONDON
Wednesday 11th June 25
To support our learning on the Great Fire of London, we have arranged a fantastic trip to The Tower of London for the Year 2 children in the Summer term. On this trip, the children will have the chance to explore the historic castle and take part in a workshop that uses role play to bring the story of the Great Fire of London to life.
We will be travelling there by coach, leaving school at 9am and arriving back approximately at 4:30pm. The children should wear school uniform as usual, however as there will be some walking involved throughout the day, they will be allowed to wear trainers/comfortable shoes. They should also wear weather appropriate attire (i.e. raincoats if rain is forecast, sun hats, sun cream if the weather is looking hot).
Lunch will be eaten at the venue. You can either provide your child with a packed lunch or school can provide this if you email the office no later than Friday 9th May . If you miss this deadline you will need to provide your child with their own packed lunch for the trip.
We would highly recommend the children bring a small rucksack to carry their lunch as well as a refillable water bottle. Please do not send your child with a large lunchbox or bag as they will have to carry it.
The cost of the trip is £22 and can be paid via Arbor.
We are very excited about this great opportunity for the children. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Yours sincerely,
Miss Breeden and Miss Cunningham

YEAR 2 WALK
Thursday 7th November 24
As part of next half term’s Geography lessons, Year 2 will be learning about map symbols, compass directions and key geographical vocabulary. To celebrate the start of this topic, we will be going on a local walk to Cheam Park Cafe on Thursday 7th November. On the walk we will be looking at the route that we take, as well as spotting key geographical features that may need to be recorded on a map.
We will be leaving school after we have completed the register, at approximately 9am. We would be very grateful for any parents who are able to accompany us on this walk. If you are available and would like to accompany us, then please let your class teacher know or email the office. Please send your child with weather appropriate clothing on the day i.e. a raincoat if it is raining or there is a chance of rain.
