Dear Parents/Carers
On the 17th of June, Year 3 are going to the Golden Valley Wildlife
Park. We will be leaving school at 10 past 9 and will arrive back
at school at 3:45. It will cost £2.70 per child and 2
teachers and 3 adults will be joining them. The children will be
able to bring a maximum of £1.00 spending money.
The children are to be provided with a packed lunch or the school
will be happy to give your child a free packed lunch if they have a
school dinner. Your child is not allowed to bring glass
bottles.
Hope your child enjoys the school trip.
From Miss Natalie and Miss Holly
This letter is very clear - well done both of
you for extracting the relevant information from all those cards.
I'm not sure that the packed lunch will be free if the child has a
school dinner, but I understand what you mean - children who have
school dinner won't have to pay extra for a packed lunch. That's
the way I understood it, anyway. Perhaps you don't agree?
Andrew and Laith from JESS Jumeirah Primary
School in Dubai also worked on this activity. They sent in copies
of their workings:

Dear parents,
Your child will be going on a school trip on the 17th of June
to the Wild Life Park, so that they can find out more about
animals. They will leave school at 9:10 am and return after the end
of school at 3:45 pm. The cost for each child will be
£2.70. In addition they can take a maximum of
£1.00 to spend at the Wild Life Park.
The children who have school dinners can have a packed lunch
prepared in the school kitchen, all the other children need to
bring a packed lunch prepared at home. This must not include glass
bottles. In case it rains children must bring a rain coat but if it
is sunny they will have to bring a hat as well as putting on sun
lotion at home.
Yours sincerely,
Mr. Andrew Liew
Mr. Laith Al Nabhani
Very well done, all of you.
