On Tuesday 10th June 2025 we will be visiting Painshill Park to support Science studies on Minibeasts. We will be having a guided activity called “Pond Minibeast Investigation” and have the opportunity to go on a guided walk around Painshill Park. Pupils dip for water invertebrates. This learning activity involves identification and analysis using microscopes and identification keys. They will discover ecosystems, food chains, adaptation and life cycles. Gloves will be provided if learners would like to wear them for the pond dipping.
To cover the cost we must ask for a voluntary contribution of £29 per child, which must be paid via the Scopay website. We take payment as indication that you give permission for your child to take part. If your child currently qualifies for Free School Meals or have any financial difficulties there may be financial assistance in paying for this trip, please contact the school office on 020 8393 0350. We will treat payment as permission to take part in the trip.
For the trip, we would love to have some parent/ carer volunteers join us. This will consist of volunteering for the whole day, including the coach journey to and from Painshill Park and helping to monitor the children throughout the day. If you would like to volunteer for the trip, please email the School Office at office1@wallacefields-jun.surrey.sch.uk. Closer to the time of the trip, we will pick names out of a hat for volunteers and contact those selected the week before the trip.
