School Trip to Culzean – Monday 3rd June 2024 – Packed Lunches

Leave a comment

 

The whole school will be going on a visit to Culzean Castle and Country Park on Monday 3rd June 2024.

We would like to thank the Parent Council for funding the transport and workshop cost from their successful grant application to 9CC. There will be no cost to pupils.

Children will be enjoying the following workshops:

  • P1 – Sense Walk
  • P2-4 – Power of Our Planet (outdoor learning), and
  • P5-7 – Castle Learning, Life in the Past.

As the pupils will be out of school all day a packed lunch will be required.

Should you wish to order an East Ayrshire provided school lunch, please place your order via ParentPay by no later than Wednesday 29th May, as the kitchens require at least 48 hours of notice prior to a trip.

Please do not place an order on ParentPay if your child is bringing a packed lunch along from home.

With the typical Scottish weather being so variable, it would be advisable to bring along a waterproof jacket and suitable sturdy waterproof footwear, as well as sunscreen, sun hat and sunglasses. Who knows what surprises the weather may bring, but here’s hoping it behaves and gives us a fine day.
