Dear Parents/Carers
Re: Geevor Mine Visit
As part of our studies of Cornwall throughout this term, all Year 5 pupils are being given the opportunity to visit Geevor Mine near Penzance. This visit has been arranged for
Tuesday 20th October and Wednesday 21st October. During the day we will take part in a variety of workshops and will also spend some time on site to study tools and artefacts used in the mines throughout history. We are also fortunate enough to have the opportunity of an outreach workshop being held at the Academy by staff from Geevor Mine prior to this visit.
Dates: 5DS and 5JCM will go on TUESDAY 20th OCTOBER
5KL and 5EM will go on WEDNESDAY 21st OCTOBER
The children will travel by coach and we will leave at 9.00am. We will be returning back to Newquay Junior at approximately 4.30pm. A packed lunch will be required (children who receive free school meals will receive a packed lunch from the canteen for the visit). Children should NOT wear school uniform that day, but wear sensible, warm clothing (including a coat) and non-slip shoes or trainers.
The cost of the visit is a voluntary contribution of £9.35 per child. Please arrange payment through our online payment system ‘ParentPay’ and complete and return the below permission slip. Naturally, we would like the whole year group to participate, but if this visit is under-funded by voluntary contributions then unfortunately it may not take place.
Thank you for your continued support.
Yours sincerely
Mrs Mann & Mrs Elliott, Mrs Martindale, Miss Linnell, Mr Sullivan & Miss Davy
