We have booked a trip for Year 4 to visit Tutbury Castle on Wednesday 30th November. As you are aware, we have been learning about the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings this term in Year 4 and this trip will be a fantastic way bring to the topic to life. We will also be using the experience of the day as a stimulus for our creative writing.

On the day, we will be travelling by coach and will leave school at 9:15am and will aim to return to school by 3:30pm. Children will need a packed lunch and a water bottle. Please send your child to school on the day with sensible, warm clothing with their Gayton jumper or cardigan. We will be spending some of the day outdoors so a waterproof coat and warm clothing will be required. They do not need to bring any money with them but can bring a small amount in a named purse or wallet if they would like to buy something from the gift shop.

We would appreciate a contribution of £16 per child which would include the cost of the coaches, entry to the castle and cover the cost of the workshops that the children will be taking part in. Payment can be online using your SCOPay account.
