Next Tuesday, 19th January, Year 6 will be going on an excursion to visit both the Red Cross Museum and the United Nations buildings in Geneva in connection with our current unit of inquiry exploring organizations that take action. We will be leaving school at 11:30 so we will have regular classes in the morning until that time. We will be back at school for approximately 15:30 so the drop-off and pick-up arrangements will not be affected in any way.We will visit the United Nations in the morning, eat a picnic lunch in an allocated space in the United Nations building, and then go across the road to visit the Red Cross Museum in the afternoon.Students who normally eat in the school canteen will be provided with a packed lunch by the canteen in the morning before we leave. Students who normally bring a packed lunch should do so as usual. All students should bring a small backpack containing a small snack and a bottle of water. (Larger bags are not permitted in the United Nations buildings.) Students can also bring a small amount of money, if they would like to purchase a postcard or ‘pin’ etc. in the gift shops. This should be in a small, named wallet that they can, if necessary, keep in a pocket. When we go into the United Nations building, we have to go through a security check (including a metal detector), so please ensure that your child does not have unnecessary items in his or her bag.On Tuesday evening we hope that there will be many great discussions in your households about the things that your son or daughter has been most impressed by during the day.Best wishes,The Year 6 teachers
