Form 3 Trip to Chocolate Factory and Science Museum

Dear Parents,

I am pleased to inform you that we have been able to organise an educational visit to a chocolate factory and science museum in Vila do Conde. This visit is designed to complement our Science topics of ‘solids, liquids and gases’ and ‘humans and animals,’ and will provide a range of learning opportunities. We have been preparing for the visit in class and will be completing follow up work to ensure the experience is a beneficial as possible.

The trip will take place on Friday 15^th of May. We will leave school promptly at 9:00am so please ensure your child arrives at school on time. We will travel to and from Vila do Conde by coach. We anticipate returning to school before 3:30pm.

Children need to come to school wearing school uniform, including a jumper and sun hat. It is essential due to the factory regulations that all children DO NOT wear earrings or any other jewellery (including watches) on that day. They should bring with them a snack for mid morning, a packed lunch and plenty of drinking water.

The cost of the trip is XXXXX, which includes coach travel and entrance fees. This will be added to your next school bill.

Please complete the slip below and return it to your child’s teacher no later than Friday 8^th May. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact us. 

Yours sincerely
