GROUPSWe will choose the groups they are in and will assign an adult with each group. We will try and split room mates up as much as we can.They will be allowed to choose the people they share their room with but not their working groups.Boy’s rooms will consist of 4 children. And Girl’s rooms will consist of 6 children. You must give your rooms in to Mr Baldwin by next Friday (written down on paper please).If you are struggling to sort your rooms don’t worry, we’ll sort it.

BuildingsWe are the only school on site and will have two buildings. One for the boys

and one for the girls.There are showers and toilets at the end

of each corridor.The buildings are always locked and staff are the only ones who have the

keys.

Kit• You have been given a kit list as a guide.• Please make sure you name all clothes. • Include a bin bag to put the wet and

muddy clothes in.• Don’t go out and buy new clothes, send

old clothes as there are no guarantees they’ll return in one piece.

• When you pack for them I’ll advise sending a back that is bigger than you need. They seem to shrink a lot when they have to pack them themselves.

toothbrush etc).Swimming costumes (goggles if
