Imperial War Museum at Duxford Visit
Dear Parents/Carers,
We are writing to inform you about an exciting trip we have organised for our Year 2 children in connection with their enquiry question, ‘How did people try to fly?’ The trip to Duxford will take place on Thursday 19th June 2025. It will be a wonderful chance for the children to explore the museum hangers and identify some of the things they will be learning about. They will have the opportunity to learn more about significant events and people linked to flying and to observe different aircrafts and how they have changed overtime and take part in.
We will be leaving school at 9:00am so children will need to arrive at their usual class entrance at the slightly earlier time of 8:40am. We expect to return at approximately 4:00pm for you to pick up your child from Marlow Road. This will give the children plenty of time to experience the museum.
For this visit, your child will need to wear their usual school uniform with comfortable footwear (e.g. trainers – not sandals / open toe shoes please).
All children in Year 2 are entitled to a meal provided under the Universal Free School Meal funding. If you would like your child to be provided with a free school packed lunch please indicate on the attached form. Otherwise, please provide your child with a packed lunch and a drink (no glass bottles, sweets or fizzy drinks please).
The cost per child is a voluntary contribution of £10.00, which will cover travel and activity costs.
At Whitehouse, we value the importance of trips as they help the children to engage with their learning and provide opportunities for the children to deepen their understanding through first hand experiences. Please remember that educational trips are not intended to be optional as they are part of our school curriculum.
Payments can be made either via the school office or on Arbor. Please return the enclosed consent form and indicate whether you would like the school to provide a packed lunch for your child by Friday 13th June 2025.
Thank you for your continued support.
Best regards
Mrs Gooch, Mr Donowa and Miss Jaspal
Year 2 Teachers
