EXCURSION TO CANNINGTON (GOOD GAMES & BOUNCE)
INFORMATION FORM FOR PARENT/GUARDIAN
To be retained by parent
Year 5 & 6, Room 2: 5th December 2016
REASON FOR EXCURSION
The Year 5 and 6 cohort has been working towards a trip by demonstrating the four elements of the Tribes
agreement. Active Listening, Appreciation, Mutual Respect and Participation.
The ‘Bounce’ activity enables them to harness those elements and apply them in a social context.
They have also been studying and developing chance experiments and the language of instructions and
procedures.
The ‘Good Games’ activity will allow them to apply their skills in reading and following instructions in
procedures and experience first-hand the elements of chance, probability and statistics.
The train journey will also give us chance to study timetables and scheduling.
