Harry Potter trip 9.3.16 - Mapperley Plains Primary School

MAPPERLEY PLAINS PRIMARY SCHOOL
YEAR 5 AND 6 VISIT TO WARNER BROS STUDIO – “HARRY
POTTER WORLD”
Wednesday 9 March 2016
0800 departure (prompt) - 1830 return
To support our topic work and for our “big” trip of the year, we have planned a trip to Warner Bros
Studio for the Harry Potter World experience.
We will have to make an early start – 0800 departure from Mapperley Social Club so children would
need to arrive at 0745 ready for 0800 departure prompt. We will not be arriving back until 6.30 pm
(traffic depending).
Children will need to wear school uniform and bring a packed lunch and drinks for the day. They
may also bring a couple of healthy snacks (no sweets or chocolate please) as it is a long day. They
can bring these in a SMALL rucksack or bag.
The PTA have agreed to subsidise the cost of this trip – for which we are really grateful. The cost
will be £26.50 which includes executive coach travel and full-day admission to Harry Potter World.
It is essential that we receive as many contributions to the cost as possible. If we do not receive
sufficient funds to cover the costs, the trip may have to be cancelled.
As it is an off-site visit, we also need a completed EV4 form. This is an important document and
ensures that we have up-to-date contact information for your child and details of any medical
issues. Without this completed form your child will not be able to join the trip so it is imperative
that you return it as soon as possible – especially as the timescale for organising the trip is short (3
weeks excluding half term). We are asking for your co-operation in returning the requested
documents as soon as possible.
The Harry Potter film series made
Leavesden its home for more than ten
years. As the books were still being released
while the films were being made, the
production crew saved many of the iconic
sets, props and costumes that were created
especially for the films - just in case they
were ever needed later on in the series.
Once filming wrapped on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 in 2010, the
production crew were left with a treasure trove of thousands of intricate and beautifullymade artefacts, many of which wouldn't have been saved on a typical production.
The team behind Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter wanted to
preserve and showcase these iconic props, costumes and sets so that Harry Potter fans
could experience the magic of filmmaking first-hand. Many of the original cast and crew
returned to reassemble the sets and record their memories from filming, and on 31st March
2012, the Studio Tour opened its doors.
Set adjacent to the working film studios where all eight Harry Potter films were made, the
Studio Tour offers visitors the unique opportunity to explore two soundstages and a backlot
filled with original sets, animatronic creatures and breathtaking special effects.
We think this will be a fantastic opportunity for all the children. We need parent helpers to
join us on this trip too! If you are free to help on the day (bearing in mind the early start/late
return). Please complete the form below to register your interest and we will let you know if
you have been selected.
Thank you for supporting our curriculum-enriching activities!
