Reception class visit to Imagine That
We are very excited to say that we have booked an educational trip for Reception class to visit Imagine That! In Liverpool. The children will be able to access a large role play area, an Art room, Science exploration room and a guided workshop. This will help the children with their imaginative skills, problem solving and a great way to explore each area of the Early Years curriculum. The date for the trip will be Wednesday 13th May and we are asking for a voluntary contribution of £18 per child to cover the cost of the transport and the venue. Please note that if we do not receive enough money to cover the cost of the trip, it may have to be cancelled. Children will need to wear their school uniform for the visit and a packed lunch will be provided for all of the children. Thank you, Mrs Wilkinson, Mrs Govan and Mrs Thompson
