Saturday 6th
December
Pupils are to arrive in main school car park about
9.00 – 9.10 and the bus will leave about 9.30. Medium suitcase/bag please – there
are 40 pupils and 5 staff to fit on the bus. Pupils may also want a small bag to take on board
the bus to carry medications, money, personal items etc.
If your child’s sleeping bag does not fit inside
their main bag, it will need to be brought on board the bus please do not tie
it to the handles of their suitcase.
If your child suffers from travel sickness, please
ensure that they take medication before the journey. Please advise a member of the staff team
before your child boards so that we can sit them towards the front of the
bus. Travel sickness medication will
also be required for the return journey.
Please ensure that this is clearly labelled with your child’s name and
the necessary dosage.
No food and
drink will be allowed on the coach as several pupils have severe nut allergies. We will make a brief comfort stop at Pont Abraham
services M4, and will arrive at camp in time for lunch. Journey time approx 3
hours.
Food
There are 4 meals a day with all allergies and special diets
catered for (these pupils will be given special passes). Please ensure that you have informed us of
any dietary requirements prior to departure.
Squash and water is always freely available to pupils.
Money
£25 will be more than sufficient pocket money (please do not
feel you have to bring this amount). There is a small shop on site with sweets
and gifts. Staff will run a ‘bank’ daily. A supply of coins will help – change
can be in short supply.
Mobile
phones and valuables
If your child brings a mobile phone, we will collect it and
pupils will be allowed a short session daily to phone home if they want to. However we cannot be responsible for any other
items brought to camp.
Medications
We are happy to look after any medications your child may need
during the week. Please ensure all
medicines are clearly labelled with your child’s name and the relevant dosage. Please ensure that your child has an adequate
supply of any medication that they may need for the week (e.g. full asthma
inhaler). Please remind pupils that they are not to offer medication to
another pupil.
Keep in
touch!
Rest assured that ‘no news is good news’. If you need to get a message to us or your
child, your best option will be to contact the camp directly via phone (01239 652140)
or email Llangrannog@urdd.org.
We will be blogging and tweeting about our adventures. Keep up to date with our news on Twitter
(@cymraegccs) or via our dedicated ‘llangrannoblog’ at

Behaviour
We want your child to have the very best time in camp and we
are all looking forward to their company. Please discuss behaviour with them
before going, as we are acting on your behalf as parents while they are in our
care.
Every year we are commended on the behaviour of our pupils,
and this is a tradition that we are keen to maintain.
