Room 5 and 6’s Trip to the Hamilton Gardens

We have had a fantastic year in Room 5 and 6.  To celebrate and support our Learning Focus this term in Technology we are planning a trip to the Hamilton Gardens.  This term the students are designing a new outdoor play area for Woodstock School. A trip to the gardens will give the students extra inspiration on different ideas they could include in their designs.

When we visit the gardens, we will be exploring each area and we will have lunch down by the lake.

To make this trip successful we are asking for parent transport to and from the gardens. It is important to note that if we do not get enough transport offers then this trip may not go ahead. The parents who provide transport will also be required to help supervise the students when we walk around the gardens.

When: Wednesday 18^th November

Time: We will leave school at 9:15am and arrive back at approximately 2:00pm (at the latest)

There is no cost for this trip.

Please indicate on the permission slip below if you can accompany us and provide transport for our trip to the gardens.  We also require two cars as emergency vehicles.  Please indicate on the form whether your car can be an emergency vehicle if needed.

Thank you for your support.  Without your help, we cannot provide these opportunities for our children. 

We look forward to a great day out together.

Caitlin Wheeler and Abbey Greenwell
