OPTIMIST YACHTING REMINDER

OPTIMIST YACHTS – PANDORA POND

Dear Parents / Caregivers

As part of our outdoor education and health curriculum Room 6 children will be learning to sail in Optimist Yachts at Pandora Pond, Napier on Monday 9^th December. The cost for this trip is included in the camp fees.

We will leave school at 9.00 am, returning to school by 3.00 pm. Children will need to bring;

Ÿ    Morning tea	Ÿ    Drink bottle	Ÿ    Lunch
Ÿ    Sunhat	Ÿ    Towel	Ÿ    Sunscreen
Ÿ    Windproof jacket	Ÿ    Covered footwear	Ÿ    Personal medication
Ÿ    Togs/wetsuit	Ÿ    Woollen jersey or polyprop

Children will be instructed beforehand on sailing skills, rope knotting, use of life jackets and parts of the optimist yacht. 

It is important we have 6 parents for the day to stay and supervise children.  Children will be instructed by Mr Lovell and myself.  

We will travel by car to and from the site and would appreciate offers of help.  Please complete the permission slip below and return to Mr Barclay with camp forms.

Camp Notice #4

Room 6 @ CAMP KAITAWA 2013

Notice #4

25 November

Dear Parents

One week to go before camp and a few reminders, as it is a busy couple of weeks.

1.         GEAR CHECK

On Wednesday, I need all children to bring the following gear to school for a gear check

 ·         1 pair of covered shoes suitable for walking

·         I x raincoat

·         2 x thermal tops

·         1 x thermal longs

·         1 x beanie (or other warm hat)

 

Remember if you have been unable to source any of the above from friends, op shops etc.  I need to know. 

N.B.  Some children will be bringing in spare items that they are willing to share.

2.       CHILI BINS

We need to borrow several large chili bins to transport food to Kaitawa.  Please let me know if you have one available for us to use.  (To be dropped off at school on Friday)

 3.       BAKING

Each child is required to bring a small amount of baking for morning and afternoon teas.  This can be brought in on Tuesday (camp) morning next week.  Items that spoil quickly such as muffins are not advisable.

Please make sure that all baking is NUT and SESAME SEED free!

4.       Life Jackets

If you have a child-sized life jacket in good condition, could you please let me know.  We require 6 extra life jackets to maximise kayak time.

5.       Camp Cookout

The children have been placed in groups to organise a camp cookout on the first evening at Camp Kaitawa.  This is a cooperative activity and not meant to be an expensive meal.  Please advise your children if their ideas are not practical.

REMINDER-CAMP

1. Camp Fees are due on Friday

2. Next Wednesday, there will be a gear check.  No need to bring everything but I need to see

• 2 x thermal tops
• 1 x thermal longs
• 1 x raincoat
• 1 x decent walking shoes

If you have extras of any of these items that can be shared with other children, please contact me or send them to school (named so I can return them).  You may have clothes or shoes at home that your child has grown out of but these may fit someone else in the class.


No need for new items - the opp shops may have clothing that will do the job!

Thanks
David Barclay
