Dear Parents

Our Year 6 children have been offered a free sailing session as part of the “Have a Go” programme. This will be run by Bucklands Beach Yacht Club at Little Bucks Beach on The Parade.

The dates for this course will be:

Room 18                        March 1^st               12 – 2.30               (leaving school at 11.30 am)

Room 19                        March 2^nd              12 – 2.30               (leaving school at 11.30 am)

Room 1 (Y6 only)          March 3rd               12 – 2.30               (leaving school at 11.30 am)

After an early lunch, the children will walk from school at 12 pm and will take a large snack and drink with them. They will begin their course at 12.30 pm. The course will be completed around 2.30 pm and the class will walk back to school to school by 3 pm.

There will be two children in each sailing boat and there will be four patrol boats operating. The children will be able to return to shore at any time and they will watch from the shore if they desire. The shore will be supervised by the class teacher and parents. The instructors will support the children to get there.

For this event all children will require: their swim suits under warm mufti clothing (not cotton which gets cold easily) /a warm sweater/2 towels/(wetsuits if they own one)/school uniform to change into afterwards at school/old sneakers which can get wet (or aqua shoes)/two bottles of water/lots of sunscreen applied prior and a hat.

Girls with long hair will need this tied back. A hat without a neck tie would be safer on this occasion.

We will require parent support on the shore and possibly in a patrol boat. If you would like to be involved on your child’s day, please can you indicate this below.
