We are pleased to provide you with the following details regarding the Year 6 excursion to IGA on Thursday August 21st (Week 5).
We will be leaving school to walk to Morris Place IGA at 9:00am and returning by 10:30am.
This excursion has been planned to support the Mathematics curriculum for this term where we have been exploring money; specifically adding amounts, budgeting and calculating change. Students will be buying their lunch for the day from IGA and calculating the change they will receive.
Activities to be undertaken include:
– Selecting items for their lunch while sticking to assigned budget
– Calculating the cost they will have for their money
– Calculating the change they will receive
– Upon return to school, students will have to apply percentage discounts off some items they selected
Special clothing or other requirements include:
– Year 6 Leavers sport uniform
If, for whatever reason, you need to contact your child during the excursion, please call the school office who will then contact one of the supervising staff members. If you have any questions or feel that the proposed excursion may raise issues relevant to your child’s safe and full participation, please contact us to discuss these further.
I will be seeking 4 parent volunteers for the excursion please fill out the Microsoft form link below with your details so I can contact you prior to the excursion.
