Y5 Trip to Murton Park, York (Saxons) – Monday 3rd February

Dear Parents/Carers,

As part of our topic on Anglo-Saxons, we have arranged for the children in Year 5 to visit Danelaw, Murton Park, York on Monday 3rd February 2025 where we will be taking part in an Anglo-Saxon themed workshop.

We will be travelling by coach.

Please ensure that your child is dropped off at school at 8:10 on Monday 3rd February.

At the end of the day, we will arrive back at school at 16:30.

Any children who are booked in to Little Saints’ after-school club will then be accompanied to the hall.

The children should come to school wearing their normal school uniform. They will need sensible shoes or trainers along with a small backpack to hold their water bottle and food for the day. Please note that they do not need any money for the visit.

Packed lunches will be provided for those children who have school meals. Those children who are signed up for tuck will also be provided with a morning snack. If your child normally brings a packed lunch to school, please send them with one as normal. Please could we politely ask that you do not include products containing nuts or fizzy drinks.

Please can we ask that you give your consent for to attend the visit via Arbor/Trips/Y5 Murton Park.

In keeping with the Governing Body’s policy regarding Charges for School Activities, you are invited to make a voluntary contribution of £17.00 towards the cost of this visit. This will cover the cost of entry to the museum, the workshop and the coach hire. Please be aware that if insufficient donations are received, the visit may not go ahead.

We are in need of 4 adult volunteers to accompany us on this visit. If you would like to volunteer, please contact the school office. Due to the size of the coach, we are only able to take 4 volunteers so please don’t be offended if we get more names and can’t take you up on your offer!

Kind regards,

Mrs Quinlan and Mrs Hetherton
