Victoria Fieldtrip June 9th Schedule

Info sheet: Field Trip to Victoria

Here are the final details of our field trip to Victoria:

Date:               Thursday, June 9, 2016

Time:               Be at the school by 7:00 a.m. SHARP!  
We will return to the school by approximately 7:30 p.m. (Please be at the school to pick up your child at that time as the school will not be open and there will be no teachers to supervise students).

Travel:             We will be taking various buses and BC Ferries (Tsawassen-Swartz Bay)  

Adults:             Teachers: Mrs. Gysbers, Mrs. Shen, and Mr. Wu
5W parents: Mr. Ho, Mr. Jang, Mrs. Yeong, Mrs. Cho, Mr. Fong, Mr. Huttunen, Mrs. Lin
5G/H parents: Mrs. Chou, Mr. Lai, Mrs. Lee, Mr. Markus, Mr. Sun, Mrs. Weiland, and Mrs. Yap
Pack:               Sweatshirt, jacket, snack, and packed lunch.   We recommend that you pack a little extra food than usual since we are gone for such a long day.  Students may choose to bring some spending money, but really only need money to purchase dinner (approx. $10).  If students choose to bring extra spending money, we recommend that students bring no more than $30.00 (that’s $20 spending money + $10 for dinner), and have a pouch/wallet to carry it in.  Students should have a backpack to carry all these items in. Please dress for the weather. Sunscreen is recommended as well.

Dinner:            Students may order kid’s meals (ferry packs) from White Spot on the ferry ride home or bring their own dinner.  If students order from White Spot, they need to keep $10 aside to pay for this.  On the back are the menu options for students – we ask that students choose their preferred meal ahead of time so that we don’t hold up the line on the ferry (we want other passengers to like us!)  These options are for information only and does not need to be returned to us. 
* Please talk to Mr. Wu or Mrs. Gysbers if your son/daughter is not able to eat a kid’s meal from White Spot for dietary reasons and we can make other arrangements. 

Tours:              We have the opportunity to go on a guided class tour of the provincial legislature as well as a self-guided tour at the Royal B.C. Museum.

Free time:        Students will have the opportunity to tour downtown Victoria (in their
                        designated parent-chaperone groups) for approximately 1 hour.  This
                        will be the time when students may spend some money on souvenirs, a treat, etc. 

Please contact us if you have any questions. 

Sincerely,

Mr. Wu
Mrs. Gysbers



Kid’s meal options from White Spot:

Choose a meal: (comes with fries, drink and dessert treat)       

___  Hot dog
___  Cheeseburger
___  Hamburger
___   Chicken strips
___ Veggie burger

Drinks: You will be given a cup with your meal and then you may choose a drink from the soft drink dispenser, or you may order milk, apple juice, or orange juice at an additional cost (but will still be covered by $10).


Note: This does not need to be handed in to your teacher, but for you to choose on your own before we leave for our trip.
