Victoria Park Infant School Henshaw Street Stretford Manchester M32 8BU Headteacher: Miss D Vrlec Tel: 0161 865 4778 Fax: 0161 865 4509 Email: victoriaparkinf.admin@trafford.gov.uk Dear Parents / Carers 27 April 2015 Year 2 Visit to Stockley Farm Class 2F and 2G – Wednesday 10th June 2015 We would like to take the children to Stockley Farm for the day on Wednesday 10th June 2015. This will be a fun and informative visit to compliment our work on animals and their habitats. The children will have the opportunity to explore a working farm and find out about the different animals and how they are looked after. They may also have the opportunity to help to feed some of the animals if they wish to. From previous experience, this visit has proved an excellent stimulus for writing and other topic work. Your child will need to bring a packed lunch with them on this day. This should be provided in a disposable plastic bag with their name clearly written on, please do not send their lunch in a lunch box. As all Infant children are now entitled to a Universal Infant Free School Meal then a packed lunch can be provided by the School Meals Service. This usually consists of a sandwich, biscuit, piece of fruit and a carton of juice. If you would like a packed lunch to be provided by school please tick the box on the permission form. As the weather is so unpredictable it is advisable that you send your child with a waterproof coat if the weather doesn’t look brilliant on the day and if it is sunny could you make sure that they are supplied with a sun hat and have sun cream already applied. As always, parent helpers are more than welcome, but will need a DBS check from school and we are happy to arrange this for you. Guidelines now are such that any adult working within school (including school trips) must hold a DBS certificate. There is a form which can be obtained from the School Office, which when completed is processed by the Disclosure and Barring Service.

Parent helpers will be allocated on a first come, first served basis for each class. We are requesting a contribution of £13 per child towards the cost of the coach and admittance to the farm, the school will subsidise the rest of the cost. If you feel you have difficulties with this request please let your child’s teacher know in good time. Payments can be made in instalments each week if preferred. Unfortunately, if we do not receive enough contributions the planned visit may have to be cancelled. Please complete and sign the consent slip below and return the form together with payment as soon as possible to your child’s class teacher. If you would like to help on the trip, please indicate that on the slip also. Thank you in anticipation of your support.
