Year 3 Trips

YEAR 3 SLEEPOVER

Friday 3rd November 23

As part of the entry point to our Autumn 1 topic, ‘Changes in Britain from Stone Age to Iron Age’, we would like to invite your child to the Year 3 sleepover. The children will have the opportunity to learn survival skills such as fire safety, shelter building and much more.

The sleepover will take place on Friday 3rd November 2023. On the day, we ask you please to collect your child as normal at the end of the day. Please ensure that they have had dinner before returning to school. They will then need to return to school at 7pm in their pyjamas with the following:

a warm coat and appropriate footwear as some activities will be taking place outside
a spare blanket for shelter building
a torch
a pillow and a sleeping bag (or equivalent)
a mat to sleep on
a cuddly toy (if they wish)
toothbrush and toothpaste

Please do not provide snacks for your child as all food will be supplied including a hot drink before bed, and breakfast in the morning. There will also be no need to send a change of clothes as children will leave in their pyjamas when being collected.

This sleepover will cost £3 to help cover costs and payment should be made via Arbor. Please complete this form by Friday 20th October to confirm your child’s participation in the trip.

Collection and Drop off Locations

Please drop off your child at the main office on Friday night at 7pm. Please collect your child at 8am on Saturday morning from the Year 1 steps.

If you do not wish your child to stay, they can be collected at 10pm on Friday night from the main office.

If you have any questions, please email the school office or speak to your child’s class teacher at the end of the day.

Kind regards,

Year 3 Team

LONDON SCIENCE MUSEUM TRIP

As part of the children’s topic on ’Forces and Magnets’, we have arranged a trip to The London Science Museum for:

Amber class on Thursday 14th March

Emerald class on Friday 15th March

On this trip, we will attend the ‘Feel the Forces’ workshop as well as explore some of the other areas the Science museum has to offer.

We will be getting public transport to and from the venue. We will travel by minibus to Worcester Park Station, where we will then get a train to Wimbledon followed by a tube to South Kensington. From there we will walk the short distance to the Science Museum. Children will need to be in school at normal time, and the children will arrive back to school by 4pm.

Lunch will be eaten at the venue, we are now able to offer a free packed lunch to all children so if you would like us to arrange this please ensure this is completed on the form by Friday 1st March. The sandwich options are ham, cheese and turkey. Please ensure your child brings a small rucksack with them to put their lunch in. If you choose to pack your child's own lunch, please ensure they have lunch and a drink (no fizzy drinks) in a named small rucksack in which they can carry their lunch.

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 coats.

We are very excited about this great opportunity for the children. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your continued support.

EGYPTIAN WORKSHOP

Thursday 18th April 24

As part of the children’s topic on ’Ancient Egypt’, we have arranged for a company to come and facilitate a whole date workshop in school for Year 3 on Thursday the 18th April 2024. This interactive workshop not only introduces children to the fascinating world of the Ancient Egyptians through the eyes of an Egyptologist, but also takes them on a journey through the mysteries of mummification. For the workshop, it would be great if the children could dress up as either:

AN EGYPTOLOGISTS - Jeans/shorts, jumpers, T shirt, hat.

ANCIENT EGYPTIANS – Egyptians, Cleopatras, Pharaohs, Mummies, slaves...

The cost of the Trip is £7 and needs to be paid by 30th April 24. Please log onto your child's Arbor account to make payment under Activities/Trips.
