UPDATE ON WHITEHALL TRIP 

We have contacted Whitehall to check on the weather conditions and any adjustments that they have put in place to mitigate the current weather conditions. We do note that the temperatures are approximately 4 degrees cooler in this area and we are forecast some rain on Friday. The following is from the centre manager.............

We’ve planned a number of steps to mitigate any risks while still ensuring a great experience for the children:

• Instructors will be advising all children to regularly and generously apply suncream, and minimise prolonged skin exposure
• Ensuring children wear sunhats when not wearing helmets
• Bringing additional water on every session to maintain hydration
• Providing bottled water for any children without their own
• Access to our new drinking water fountain in the dining room
• Encouraging regular drink and shade breaks, with close monitoring for signs of overheating, sunburn, or heat-related illness
• Running a “wet” canoe session to help keep children cool, alongside encouraging reapplication of suncream
• For rock scrambling sessions, we will bring additional water supplies in the minibus, prioritise shaded areas, and return to the vehicle/centre if any signs of overheating occur
• Onsite activities will be focused in shaded woodland areas where possible
• We have stocked a large number of ice lollies (and a new freezer!) to help children cool down during breaks

We also held a detailed staff briefing on Monday covering heat management and recognising signs of heat-related illness. Management will continue checking in with instructors throughout the week to ensure all measures are being followed.

We don’t often experience heat like this, but the team are very experienced and well prepared, you’re in the safest hands.

UPDATE AND REMINDER ........................

Dear Year 6 Parents and Carers,

We are looking forward to our upcoming trip to Whitehall and would like to share some important information regarding timings and the equipment your child will need.

Travel Arrangements:

• Pupils must arrive at school by 8:10am, ready for a prompt departure at 8:30am
• We will be leaving Whitehall at 4:30pm, returning to school at approximately 5:30pm

What to Bring:

It is important that children come well-prepared for all activities. Please ensure your child has the following:

• Packed lunch, snack, and a water bottle (if you have ordered a school-packed lunch, this will be provided each day)
• Old, comfortable clothing such as jogging bottoms, leggings (some activities will require these), shorts, t-shirts, jumpers, or fleeces (no denim, as it does not dry well)
• Waterproof jacket
• Walking boots (not essential but trainers are but must have good grips)
• Two pairs of old trainers (one pair will get wet, and one dry pair is needed to change into -  as we will be covering terrain that will require a good grip please ensure trainers are suitable)
• A full set of clean clothes for after a wet or very dirty activity
• Towel
• Separate bags for muddy shoes/clothes (named reusable shopping bags are ideal)
• Sun cream and sun hat
• Any medication your child may need during the day (e.g. inhaler)

Please take into account the current warm weather and ensure your child brings a hat, sunscreen, plenty of water, and suitable clothing to stay comfortable throughout the day.
