Dear Year 2 Families,
On Wednesday, 6th November, Year 2 will visit Kadoorie Farm as part of our Discovery unit, ‘Brilliant Botanists’. We have been studying plants, seeds, botany, minibeasts and other living things, and this trip will offer the children real-life experiences to consolidate their learning.
Timings
Students should arrive at school at the normal time of 8.25 am. Buses will depart at approx. 9.15 am. The children will have their snack at the farm, explore the amazing wildlife on offer, enjoy their lunch and then depart Kadoorie Farm at 1.45 pm to return to school.Â
Cost
The cost of the trip will be HK$100 per child, which includes transportation and entrance to the farm.Â
Payments must be made by Wednesday, 30th October, for your child to attend. Please submit cash or cheque payments (payable to Discovery Bay International School) to the main school office. If you wish to pay via bank transfer, please use the following details:

What to Wear/Bring
On the day, the children will need to wear their PE kit and bring a bag they can carry independently. In their bag, they will need the following:

We will require six parent helpers per class to support us with this exciting trip. Your class teacher will make a parent sign-up sheet available on the class communication board. If many parents volunteer, names will be chosen from a hat.
If you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to contact your class teacher.
Many thanks,
