Dear Parents/ Carers
With half term just around the corner, I thought it would be a good idea to let you have a copy of the kit list for the week away!
Kit List
Clothes for 5 days (hot/cold/wet weather)
Nightwear
Waterproof clothing- jackets and trousers
Swimming kit, old trainers, and t-shirt and leggings for water activities.
2 x towel (1 for water day activities)
Sun hat / Sun cream
Toiletries (toothbrush, soap, etc)
Sleeping bag (pillow, blanket if needed)
Torch
Tea towels
Packed lunch box, drinks bottle, small day bag
Teddy, notebook, pencil, book to read- if they wish
2 x bin liners
A cake/ biscuit/ cookies etc in a named tin.
Please remember to name everything that you want back…. experience shows us that they will not necessarily recognise their own clothing!
Camera if they would like one- but they are responsible for their own equipment.
No jeans unless for evening use.
Fleeces are much better than sweatshirts/ hoodies for activities.
No shorts will be allowed on the climbing or biking activities.
Day 1: Travelling to Whinlatter Centre for mountain biking, then onto Langton
Day 2: Ghyll scrambling and rock climbing in Langdale
Day 3: Ullswater walk and ferry to Pooley Bridge
Day 4: Glenridding sailing day
Day 5: Lowther Castle for a bit of fun, before we return to school.
Each evening we will be doing walks, games and of course the Thursday Talent Show!
I have attached a form C – please could you return this as soon as possible.
Final details will be sent after half term, but in the meantime – if you have any questions, then please just get in touch.
Best wishes,
Simon Brabant Susan Goodfellow
