Activity Days Summer 2016

Erthygyl 31: Eich Hawl i Ymlacio a Chwarae

Activity Choices for 2016 Dear Parent and Pupil, In our last week of the Summer Term, we are running a day of activities on the Tuesday. There are many different types of activity on offer, some school-based and some off-site, some free and others involving a cost.

This booklet outlines for you, the activities that we have on offer this year. Read it through carefully and decide on the two activities that you would most like to do. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that you will be able to join your first choice activity, but you should be able to do one of your choices.

Unless specifically stated, most activities are run over the one day. On this day you will report to the teacher in charge of the activity. Once you have been allocated to an activity, further details will follow from the teacher in charge of that activity.

Guidance Notes Read the booklet carefully and select your preferred activities.

If you are selecting “off-site” activities it is important that you contact the member of staff organising the trip as soon as possible and book your place.

If your selection includes just “on-site” activities, list your choices in order of preference.

If you are going on a pre-arranged family holiday, please ensure the school has been informed.

Return the separate letter signed by your parent/guardian to your Form Tutor by: Friday 6th May 2016.
