One week to go, P7!

You have a sheet with suggested clothing and items. Pack your suitcase yourself and tick off what you have packed on the left of the sheet. There is a space to tick on the right hand side when you repack. Please remember to put your name on all your belongings, just in case you get muddy and wet!

You also have a medical form for any medication, including travel sickness pills for the outward and return journey. Ask your family to complete the form and place it in a clear plastic bag. Give it to your teacher when you register in the Hall on Monday morning. Not many sleeps now!

Information

P7 Lagganlia Monday 30th September- Friday 4th October

A table for each class will be set up in the Gym Hall on Monday morning 30th September. Drop off luggage behind the table and then please wait outside in the playground. Pupils can register that they have arrived in school – and give class teachers any medication - from 8.30am– before going back out into the playground.

All medication, including any travel sickness pills, should be clearly labelled with name, class and instructions.

£10.00 spending money can be brought (though £5.00 is adequate) and should be looked after by your child in a named purse or wallet. Loose change is best. No mobile phones and we also would advise AGAINST bringing valuables such as Nintendo DS etc.

All children should have visited the toilet before coming back into the Hall at 9.15am.

We will gather in the Hall until the buses arrive. (Parents are kindly requested to wait outside to ease congestion.) Pupils will then carry their own luggage and board the buses one class at a time. Suitcases will be placed in the hold and cannot be accessed until we reach Lagganlia, so make sure to take day bags with packed lunch and drink onto the bus.

When on the bus, Sciennes’ staff will help stow jackets and day bags and check seat belts are fastened correctly.

We expect to leave between 9.30am and 9.45am and families are welcome to wait to wave us off.

We will update families on our adventures using this blog.

We expect to return to Sciennes around 12.30pm on Friday 4th October.  If there is any significant change to the expected arrival time then school will send a text message to all parents. Updates about the journey will be posted on the blog.
