Dear Parent,

A few final details ahead of our visit to Robin Hood’s Bay on Tuesday the 2nd of May.

We will be leaving at 9.00am so all children will need to meet us in the village hall car park at 8:45 am with their cases/bags, a snack, packed lunch and drink. We aim to arrive at Robin Hoods Bay for around 12.00, allowing for a short stop along the way if needed. The coach cannot park at the hostel itself, so the children will have a 10 minute walk down to the hostel carrying or wheeling their own luggage – please bear this in mind when packing cases! A small wheelie case or a rucksack would be ideal.

The staff attending will be Mr Hardman, Mrs Smith and Mrs Turvill, all of whom currently work with the class. 

At Robin Hood’s Bay, our main activities will be:

  • a smugglers walk around Robin Hood’s Bay in which we will learn about the history of the bay
  • an evening by the fire-pit storytelling
  • exploring the beach to find fossils and learn about their preservation and formation
  • creating some beach art (if we have time). 

On Wednesday, we will leave Robin Hood’s bay around 1:00pm and hope to return for approximately 3.30pm. You will be informed if the estimated time of arrival changes significantly. Please collect your child from the village car park at this time. Please be sure to leave plenty of room around the coach to allow luggage to be unloaded and then confirm with Mr Hardman before you take your child home.

Please find attached a kit list and medical form and please follow the link for menu choices.

A hard copy of the medical form will also be sent home today and needs returning by Tuesday 25th April.

https://forms.office.com/e/NLrxGK57W6 - needs to be completed by Tuesday 25th April.

If you require any more information, or need to discuss anything regarding the trip, please do not hesitate to contact me. Finally, if your child will need medication on the trip (other than inhalers), please will you ensure that you fill in a medicine permission form from the office beforehand and give both the form and the medication (named) to Mr Hardman on the Tuesday morning.

Yours faithfully

Mrs Prest
