Year 6 Wetlands Trip
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I am pleased to inform you that Year 6 will be going on a school trip to the WWF Mai Po Wetlands on Monday 7th October (Y6MP and Y6SK) and Tuesday 8th October (Y6RA and Y6HK). The children will leave school at approximately 8am and will leave Mai Po Wetlands at 12.15pm, after eating lunch.
This trip links to both our Discovery Unit ‘Ecosystems’ and to our English unit linked to the book Meadowlands.
Through sensory exploration and interactive games, the students will uncover the significance of wetlands to humans and wildlife whilst also learning to appreciate various wetland habitats.
On the day of your child’s trip, we ask them to be at school no later than 7.50am and to wear their PE kit. Please apply sunscreen and mosquito repellent before school. Children will need to bring:
- A snack and packed lunch
- A hat
- A water bottle
- Light rain jacket
- Wellies/gum boots/walking boots (plus trainers to change into for the bus)
Parent Volunteers
We would welcome parent volunteers to support this trip and are aiming for two volunteers per class. Please contact your child’s class teacher via email if you are interested in joining us.
