YEAR 5 DAY TRIP TO PARIS - MAY 2015
Dear Parents and Carers,
Following the successful trip to Paris last year, we plan to take the current year five
children for an exciting day to Paris. We are finalising the schedule but the children will
visit the Eiffel Tower, go shopping on Rue D’Anvers and have a photo opportunity at La
Butte de Montmarte. They will visit their partner school at lunchtime and meet their
pen-pals and sample some of the life of this wonderful city. The children will speak and
hear French all around them for the day and we hope that this will encourage and
support their work in class.
The trip will be on WEDNESDAY 20TH MAY 2015 and we will leave from the Eurostar
terminal at St Pancras International Station at 7:01 am and return there at 7:39 pm.
(You will need to make your own way to and from the Eurostar terminal)
The cost of the trip will be £64. The payments can be made in one instalment of
£64.00 to be paid by Monday 9th February 2015 or two lump sums of £32.00: one by
Monday 15th December and the other by Monday 9th February 2015. Please make
payment online, via the school’s website, www.coldfall.haringey.sch.uk and follow
the ‘pay online’ link. If you do not have your child’s link code, please contact the
school office.
You will need to provide the following by Monday 9th February 2015:

A visa if your child does not have an EU passport (please contact the French Embassy
