5th July 2013 Dear Parents and Carers Our Year 6 children have just returned from their

residential trip to Todmorden in Lancashire. They stayed at a Robinwood activity centre and their base for three days was a castle. They had a fabulous time and they enjoyed every second! The aim of the trip was to become more confident in challenging situations and to overcome their fears, improve their problem solving skills and to develop new skills. The reason for this letter is to gauge parental interest regarding residential trips we may offer next year. We are currently thinking about offering two trips. A trip to France for our Year 6 children (our current Year 5s) and repeating the Robinwood trip for our Year 5 children (current Year 4). We would be grateful if you could return the slip below so that we can start to make arrangements for the trip or trips. The proposed trip to France would take place in June next year (we are unable to give an actual date at this moment in time.) The cost of the trip would be approximately 330, this trip would be from Monday to Friday. This price would include transport, accommodation and food. It would also include a wide range of activities possibly including a visit to a creperie, orienteering to solve a French puzzle, visits to various museums and local attractions. More information about the company we would be using can be found at www.euro-sejours.com (click on the tab at the top that says Incoming). If the trip was to go ahead it would be for Year 6 only. The trip to Robinwood in Todmorden would take place May to June (again we are unable to give an actual date). The cost of the trip would be approximately 195 for three days. This would include accommodation and food. It would also include a wide range of activities including archery, canoeing, crate challenge, and the famous piranha pool. (Transport costs would be met by school.) More information about the company we would be using can be found at www.robinwood.co.uk. We are planning this trip for Year 5 children but if interest for the France trip is low we will offer this trip to the Year 6 children as well. Please can you tick which trip your child would be likely to attend if these trips were to go ahead? Please return the slip by Friday 12th July. Yours sincerely
