4. Collection Our last activity will finish at 2.45pm on the Friday
Children will have had time over lunch to pack all their belongings, so will be ready to just pick up their bags and go!
Parents to collect children at 3pm. This gives time for you to get back to Oxley for collection of any siblings
If transport is required back to school on the Friday could you please add your child’s name to this list before you go, also tick whether they will then be collected at normal time or are staying for after school clubs

5. Activities Children will take part in 4 of 5 activities on offer
Canoeing, Sailing, Raft building, Kayaking or Zorbing
Each activity will last 1 and a half hours
The organisation and timetabling of these have been arranged by the team at Caldecotte, so children will not be able to choose which they participate in

6. Clothing Children will need old, warm, comfy clothes – no jeans!
Layers are good!
There are several water based activities so it is possible they will get wet. Please pack enough for them to change if needed
Old trainers
Waterproofs and wellies

7. Food
On the Thursday evening there will be a BBQ following the first activity
Breakfast will be provided on the Friday morning for those who have stayed and will consist of cereals and toast
Sandwiches are provided for lunch; children will be able to choose their filling before we go
Please let us know of any special dietary requirements – vegetarian/halal/allergies etc.

8. Medication Please hand any medication needed to a member of staff
It will need to be prescribed with the child’s name on it for us to be able to administer it
You will also need to complete a medical form which can be found in reception, just ask a member of the office staff
We will take with us any medication we already have in school

9. Accommodation
Children will be camping in tipis which sleep 8-10 children
Adults will also be in a tipi!
I would highly recommend a thick sleeping bag and a camping mat if you have one
Onesies are great for them to sleep in and nice thick socks! Or several pairs to keep their feet warm; hats and gloves too!
Please try to make sure everything is named, with up to 10 children in one tipi, I can guarantee their belongings will get mixed up!

10. Any questions?
Lots of fun will be had!
