All food is provided for you, though you will need to have money or a packed lunch for the journey down.
We are due to leave at 9.00am from Upper school on the Monday, so you should be in school at about 8.40am so we can get everything sorted before boarding the bus.
The sort of things you will need to bring are:
- Sensible clothing. Layers of clothing are better as they can be taken off or added depending on the weather. The coast can get windy and you should make sure you have enough warm clothing. If you have waterproof clothing that could be useful. Jeans tend not to be the best things to wear as if they get wet they will be uncomfortable.
- You will be walking about the coastline, so sensible foootwear is needed. If you have walking boots then bring them.
- You should bring toiletries (toothbrush/paste, deodorant, shower gel/soap etc).
- It would be useful if you could take photos, but the school will be providing photos when you return that you can use in your controlled assessment.
- If you do take any valuable items then you should be aware that it is at your own risk. The last time we visited the centre there were no locks on dormitory doors.
- You should bring pens and pencils.
Remember, that it is vital that you know exactly what is going on during the trip and that you are part of all of the data collection process as you will be examined on these when we return and you will not be given much (if any) help. The 1200 words that you write will be marked and is worth 15% of your final grade.
Ask your teacher if you have any questions.
