Dear Parents,
Year 4 trip to Bore Place Organic Farm – Thursday 8th June
As part of next half term’s learning enquiry ‘When is food at its best?’ Year Four have the exciting opportunity to visit
Bore Place Organic Farm in Kent. At the farm, the children will be able to better understand the importance of organic
farming and food production; they will also be able to learn how a working dairy farm operates, seeing the milking
session and how the farm minimises waste and ensures high animal welfare. There will also be the chance to use the
farm kitchen to make butter from the cows’ milk.
The children will need to wear home clothes appropriate for a muddy farm, as well as bringing a waterproof coat if the
weather forecast is poor. Two pairs of footwear are essential: wellies for outside and trainers for the coach/inside.
Please ensure wellies are brought to school in a separate bag. We will be leaving school at 8.55am, so please make
sure your child is at school f 8.45am that day. We will return to school at 4.20pm – please note this time as you will
need to collect your child later than usual. Please provide your child with a packed lunch and a water bottle. If your
child has school lunches, they will be provided with a school packed lunch – please complete the form below, and
provide your child with a lunchbox and water bottle.
The cost of the trip is £22.60 per child, which includes coach travel to and from the farm, entrance fees and the
educational activities. Please note this is the only cost we will be asking of you for the rest of the school year. Knowing
this trip is slightly more expensive, we have tried to keep other costs for the year to a minimum. All contributions are
voluntary (please refer to the ‘Charges and Remissions Policy’ on the school website) but please note that should we
not be able to cover our cost the trip may be cancelled as the school cannot absorb any shortfall in expenses.
We would like two extra adult helpers per class to accompany the trip, so if you are able to help please let us know on
the form below.
Yours sincerely,
Miss Greaves, Mr Cadman and Mrs Morgan
