On Thursday October 30th, the four kindergarten
classes will be going to Whittamore’s
Farm in Markham to explore and investigate life on the farm, growth and
change in plants and other living things, and enjoy a wagon ride through the
farm grounds.
Your signature
granting permission is needed, along with the $10.00 trip fee by Wednesday October
14th. Please place the signed permission form, emergency contact
numbers, and cash in a sealed
envelope or Zip-Lock bag.
A number of adult volunteers will be needed to supervise
groups of children. If you would like to volunteer, please complete the
relevant section of the permission form. Your child’s teacher may contact you a
few days before the day of the trip. Teachers may not contact everyone who
volunteers as the farm and Board busses can only accommodate a specified number
of people.
We will be leaving the school at 9:00 a.m. Please ensure
your child arrives at school on time so we can get ready to go as soon as
possible! Pick-up time will be 3:15 p.m., as usual.
Packing and
dressing for the day
-
A packed litterless, nut-free lunch is required.
Please ensure that your child eats a good breakfast before arriving at school.
-
Your child will receive a small pumpkin so pack
a grocery bag to make it easier to carry home!
-
Please ensure your child has a backpack
appropriate for carrying their belongings for the day.
-
We will go to the
farm rain or shine so dress your child for the weather – light layers are best!
If there has been rain; rubber boots are recommended. Also, perhaps a coat or
rainwear; a sweater; and pants instead of skirts as the farm can be mucky. If
you wish, your child may also bring a change of clothes, however, please be
aware that each student is responsible for carry his/her own belongings.
Thank you… Merci! J
Mlle Bauman, Please note I will be picking up Evalyn Naber tomorrow (Oct. 1st) at 12:00 pm for a docters appointment down town. Evalyn will not be returing back to class in the afternoon tomorrow as our appointments will not get her back before the end of the school day. I have already notified the school office as well. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know!
DeleteYay, a trip to the farm sounds quite exciting! For parents interested in volunteering, is a police record check required? And do we pay the $10 fee, as well? (Totally ok - just want to confirm how much I should send in the envelope!)
ReplyDeleteWe are looking forward to it! A police check is not required and we are allowed a certain number of volunteer to student ratio for free. We're accepting them on a first come, first served basis.
