We have an exciting opportunity for Year 2 to go on a trip to Rosliston Forestry Centre on Tuesday 1st July 2025. This visit ties in with our current science topic on biodiversity and minibeasts, and it promises to be a fun and educational day out in nature.
During our visit, the children will take part in two outdoor activities: minibeast hunting and pond dipping, giving them the opportunity to explore a variety of habitats and discover fascinating creatures that live there. These hands-on experiences will help enrich their understanding of the natural world and support their learning in class.
Children will need to arrive at school at 8.30am and we will arrive back at school at 3.15pm. They will need a packed lunch for the trip. We will send out further information about clothing etc nearer to the time.
The cost of the trip will be £19.95 per pupil which is available to pay in the trips section of your Arbor app by 29th June 2025.
In agreement with the governing board, we have made the decision to run trips in a different way this school year. We will still be offering the same trips but will not be advertising our day trips to the children and instead will send letters directly to parents via Arbor.
Trips will not be booked until all payments have been made and will not go ahead if all payments have not been received. Day trips will continue to be free for children on our Pupil Premium Register.
We’re really looking forward to a great day of exploring and learning in the great outdoors!
Kind Regards,
Mrs Forbes and Mrs Davies
