Letter sent to parents of Year 8 Geography students regarding field work at Birling Gap.

17 January 2008


Dear Parents/Guardians

Re:  Year 8 Geography Fieldwork January/February 2008

As part of the Geography Curriculum, Year 8 students will be taken to Birling Gap to study coastal erosion. The data they collect will allow them to complete a National Curriculum assessment exercise.

On the day of the trip, school uniform should be worn during lessons before the trip, but students can change into suitable clothing and footwear for the actual fieldwork. Please ensure that they bring suitable clothing for wet weather. Students will be travelling by coach, leaving the school at 10.40am and returning by 2.35pm. As such they will also need to bring their own drinks and a packed lunch.

The dates of the fieldtrips are as follows

   8M, 8E & 8R        Monday 28 January
   
    8K, 8T & 8A        Wednesday 30 January

    8O, 8S & 8W        Friday 1 February

The trip will cost £4.50 and payment will need to be given to Kim Hazell in the Finance Office by Thursday 24 January. Please complete and return the reply slip below giving your permission for your son/daughter to go on the trip.

Yours sincerely

Paula Weir
Geography Teacher
