P1D will be visiting the forest on the following days:

• Wednesday 27th April – this will only be a very short visit to plan our topic.  It will run from 1.45 until approximately 3pm.  Please let Mrs Duncan know a.s.a.p if  you are able to help on this day. Children do not require snacks or rucksacks on this day  and they can wear their normal school uniform.
• Wednesday 4th May 9.15- 12pm
• Monday 9th May 10 -12pm
• Wednesday 18th May 9.15- 12pm
• Wednesday 25th May 9.15- 12pm
• Wednesday 1st June 9.15- 12pm
• Wb Monday 6th June – a final date/time for this week will be arranged neared the time

On these forest sessions children must wear

• long trousers – no shorts or skirts please
• Sturdy footwear – trainers, hiking boots,welly boots (when raining)
• A school jumper
• A waterproof jacket
• Waterproof trousers (we do have a small selection of these in school).

They should bring a small rucksack containing:

• A filled water bottle
• A snack
• Another layer – fleece or extra jumper
• Gloves
• Sun-cream and a sun hat.  Please apply sun-cream before sending your child to school on forest days.

We will require 5 parent helpers to help us with each forest session.  It would be ideal if we could have 1 or 2 parent helpers that would be willing to help with all/most sessions to allow for some consistency when assisting with activities.  Please keep Wednesdays/Monday 9th free if you are willing to help – a letter will be sent out shortly asking for availability.
