Year 1 Visit to Martson Mortaine

To complement our summer term topic, we have arranged for the children in year 1 to visit the Forest Centre at
Marston Mortaine on Friday 23rd June.

During the day, the children will take part in activities such as pond dipping, bird watching and a bug hunt. The
sessions will be led by the Centre’s Rangers and by Oakley School staff.

This is a fantastic opportunity for the children to develop their knowledge and understanding of nature as part of
their creative curriculum and a chance to promote our school values such as understanding, caring and respect.

The children should wear school uniform for the visit and we recommend that long trousers are worn as children
will be walking through long grass. A sunhat should also be worn and depending on the weather forecast, a
waterproof coat.

Children in year 1 are entitled to a free school lunch. If you would like the school kitchen to provide a packed
lunch for that day, please indicate on the reply slip. Alternatively, you may provide a packed lunch from home.

All children will require a filled water bottle.

The cost for the visit, including travel by coach and insurance is £8.00, please make cheques payable to
Sharnbrook Academy Federation, this should be sent into school by Friday 26th May. If you have any problems
paying this amount, please speak in confidence to Mrs Wille, Office Manager. The attached slip giving details of
emergency contacts for the day should also be returned to school as soon as possible.

If you have any questions about this visit, please speak to your child’s teacher. We are sure the children will
have an enjoyable and beneficial day.

Thank you for your continued support.
