Trip to Museum of Anthropology - Feb. 3rd

École Herbert Spencer School
UBC Museum of Anthropology
January 20th, 2012
Dear Parents,

Field trips are a very important aspect of your child’s learning. Field trips allow your child to try and experience new things, and provide a learning environment that the classroom environment cannot always provide. As part of our Social Studies, our class will be participating in a class field trip to the UBC’s Museum of Anthropology. This field trip will provide a wonderful addition to our First Nations unit.

We will be travelling to the museum by school bus with Mme Copley’s class.  We will be doing a workshop with a facilitator called “The Potlatch”.
We will need a small number of parents to lead and supervise groups of students in the gallery while we are not at our workshop.

This field trip will take place on Friday, February 3 rd, 2012. We will be leaving the school, by bus, at about 9:05, so please make sure that your child arrives at school on time. We will return to the school by dismissal time.

Students are encouraged to wear appropriate clothes for the weather, as we will be attending this field trip rain or shine. The lunch portion of our field trip will occur outside. (make sure your child has an environmentally friendly lunch)
The cost of this field trip is $5.00. Due to job action, I will not be collecting money for this field trip therefore a parent volunteer (??) will be required to do so. I will ask this person to contact you via-email to let you know how and where they would like to collect the money.  A big thank you to this person from us!
Please return signed permission slips to me by  Monday, January, 30th .

Yours sincerely,
Ms. C. Sumarlidson
