Bridlington Info.....

Following the meeting after school today - here is the key information about the trips next week.

Order of the Day:

• Depart school at 9am (or a close as we can!!) - we will be opening the door at 8:40am for the class that is going that day.




• Arrive in Bridlington at approx 11am - toilet stop will be first!




• Then dinner in the gardens on South Cliff Road.




• Approx 12pm - we will begin our walk to the beach via The Spa.




• 12:30ish - arrive at the beach and change into out beach shoes. Mrs Foster will then go and section off an area of the beach and check for donkey poo!!! The children play within a coned off area on the beach with buckets and spade - we provide them, so they don't need to bring one with them.




• Children will alternate playing on the beach and paddling in the sea - for the paddle the adults form a semi-circle on the shore and children paddle in front of us.




• After the beach we get changed if we need to in the nearby toilets.




• We then enjoy a delicious ice-cream - followed by one last toilet stop and then we walk back to the coach at around 2:15pm




• We depart Bridlington at 2:30pm and hope to arrive back at school at 4:00pm.

The coach we travel on is fully air-conditioned and each child will have a seat belt - The children are not allowed to eat or drink on the coach and they will be sitting near the adult that is looking after them.

The ratio's for the day are 1:2 - so every child will have a hand to hold! I will not have any children on the day - so I can assist crossing the roads safely and will be available for any emergency should it arise.

Here is a list of things you child will need on the day:

·All children to wear school uniform.
·All children will need a packed lunch – (no fizzy drinks or glass bottles!) in a throw away carrier bag.- no lunch boxes please!! Make sure that everything in the lunch bag is throw away - i.e. no spoons etc!
·All children will need a change of clothes - underwear too!! This doesn't have to uniform - but it would be nice if it was!
·They will need sun cream and a hat if it's hot!
·They will need a waterproof coat if it's going to rain!

PLEASE SEND BOTH OF THE ABOVE TO COVER US FOR ANY WEATHER!! IT'S SO UNPREDICTABLE.
·All children will need a pair of shoes to change into that they can paddle in - jellies or crocs etc.
·If you child doesn't have a change of shoes for the beach, they will not be allowed to paddle.

·Please place the change of clothes, sun cream, hat, waterproof coat and paddling shoes in a separate carrier bag - and again their adult will look after this for them - we don't want the children to carry anything - so no RUCKSACKS please!!

Please bear in mind that the adult who is looking after your child will have two sets of spares to carry, plus their own belongings - so the smaller the bag the better.

When we arrive back at school at approximately 4pm you are welcome to greet us from the coach, but we will be bringing all children back into school to their classroom and do a ‘home time’ routine as normal. We would ask that you walk around the school building to the Cloakroom doors and we will open them as normal when we are ready. You will not be allowed to take your child directly from the coach – I’m sure you will appreciate that this is for your child’s health and safety as we want to make sure everybody goes home with the right person.

I think that covers everything - any questions please leave a comment and I will publish and reply - so everyone can read! It really is a fab day - and the children (and the adults) love it!!! :)

Thank YouMrs Foster
