Cadbury World Trip

Dear Parents and Carers,

On Friday the 30th of September all of Years 3 and 4 will be visiting Cadbury World in

Birmingham. This trip supports our sweets and chocolate topic and is fully funded by

the school.

Travel Timings and Arrangements

Your child will need to arrive at school at 7.15am for a prompt departure at 7.30am.

We do need all children to arrive on time, as due to the distance, we are unable to wait

for anyone who is late. The children will return to school at 6.45pm but please bear

with us, as this will be subject to traffic. We will keep you informed via Facebook and

texts as to our exact arrival times, so please make sure that your phone numbers are

up to date with the office. Parents should wait for our return on the 3/4 playground

until the coach arrives, then teachers will dismiss from classrooms in the usual way.

Lunch & Snacks

All children will need a packed lunch, a snack and 2-3 drinks. Children receiving free

school meals will have their packed lunch provided by school but will still need

additional snacks and drinks from home. Please make sure that drinks are non-fizzy

and are not in cans or glass bottles. It is a good idea to pack their lunch in a throw

away bag so that they do not need to carry it around the factory. It should also be

noted that the children will be tasting chocolate at the factory so it is probably a good

idea to avoid this in their lunch and snacks … to prevent an overload for our return

coach trip!

Clothing

Children should come dressed in their school uniforms and with a coat and suitable

foot wear for the weather. Mainly the trip is indoors but coats are still needed in case

of rain. They will also need a ruck sack or other bag in which to carry their lunch etc.

Travel Sickness

If your child suffers from travel sickness and will need medicine on the return journey,

please complete the reply slip. This will be necessary to allow staff to give your child

a tablet for the return trip.

On the Coach

We are aware that this is a long trip for your child and have planned some stops where

the children can use the toilet, stretch their legs and have a snack. We also think that

it is good idea that they bring with them something to play with on the coach. The

children will be responsible for all their possessions throughout the trip.

Spending Money

We are not sure if we will have time to visit the gift shop as this will be dependent on

traffic and time. We have decided that the children should bring a maximum of £5

with them. This should be plenty as they will be sampling chocolate on the trip. Please

put this in a named wallet or purse as they will be responsible for looking after their

own money.

Medication and Allergies

We are visiting a place where food is manufactured. If your child suffers from

any food allergies (ESPECIALLY NUT), please inform the class teacher.

If your child would normally need medication administering before 6pm please fill in

the reply slip below and speak to your class teacher.

Asthma

Please make sure that your child has their inhaler with them if they are asthmatic.

We hope that your child will enjoy this trip and we look forward to sharing what we

believe will be a very special day together.

Yours sincerely,

Miss Rutter

Assistant Principal & Trip Leader
