Dear Parents

Re: Y4 Visit to Blists Hill, Ironbridge

This letter is to inform you that as part of the curriculum we are planning to take the children in Year 4 on a visit to Blists Hill on Wednesday 6th May. This visit supports the work the children are doing in school. The visit will take place during school hours, leaving at 9.00am prompt and returning by 3.30pm.

We plan to spend time in and around the town, visiting shops and businesses of times gone by and also undertake a printing workshop using Victorian printing techniques. We hope to experience what life would have been like and how people lived all those years ago.

The cost of the excursion is £15.00 which includes the entrance fee to the museum, the cost of the printing workshop, museum, transport and insurance. However as with previous trips, this is covered by the one off annual trip payment of £10.00. For those parents that have paid this for previous trips, thank you. For those that haven’t paid this (or paid in full), can I ask that payment is made before the date of this trip. As you will appreciate, school funds do help with subsidising these visits but the financial contribution from parents is essential if we are to continue with extra curriculum visits.

Children will need to bring a packed lunch with them and any snacks and drinks required for the day. Please do not send drinks in glass bottles. For those children that receive free school meals, please indicate on the slip below whether you require school to provide a packed lunch for the trip. There may be an opportunity to visit a gift shop at the museum but we recommend that no more than £5.00 is provided as spending money. We also ask that children wear their school jumpers/coats for the trip but they can wear comfortable trousers and footwear as a large part of the day will involve walking. .

If you wish your child to visit Blists Hill, please complete and return the slip below along with the attached at your earliest convenience.

Yours sincerely

Mrs E Fitzgerald
