Dear Parents/Carers,
We thought we would provide you with some questions and answers ahead of our Mersea trip next week (Wednesday 25th June-Friday 27th June).
What time will be leaving?
We will be aiming to leave at 9am - as soon as everyone arrives we will leave.
How much pocket money should my child bring?
This is by no means compulsory but at Mersea there is a tuck shop for children to purchase snacks. We ask for a maximum of £5 to be handed in to your child's group leader in a named bag/envelope.
Can I contact my child whilst they're away?
Unfortunately the phone signal at Mersea is tempremental - if you need to contact your child please speak with the office who will get in touch with us.
What does my child need to bring?
Please see here for a kit list
What will my child be sleeping in?
Your child will be in a same-sex tent with maximum 6 children. They will have a mat to sleep on but will need a sleeping bag and pillow.
What about my child's medication?
We have received all medication information from you and have an extensive list of adminstering it (based on the information you have provided). Please bring the medication your child needs to school on Wednesday morning, clearly labelled. Please hand to Miss Betty or Mrs Ward.
Will we get any updates?
Due to lack of phone signal, we will update you when we have arrived, Mrs Nicholls will provide some updates on Thursday when she comes to visit and on Friday we will update you with a pre-travelling home photo! When we return home we will blog the rest of the photos we will have taken
Can my child bring their phone?
No, we ask for this to be a device-free holiday!
Can my child bring snacks?
We ask for children not to bring snacks as leftover food can attract rats to the tent!
When will you be returning?
We will be leaving Mersea around 1pm, traffic depending we should be back before the end of school. We will text you with an updated ETA.
A reminder that your child will be encouraged to complete the activities but will not have to complete them.
Any other questions, please contact the Office or year5@broadford.havering.sch.uk
