Hi,
Couple of reminders here regarding the trip this weekend.
Medical Information
We will use the medical information that you have already provided to the school. If there is any thing additional that you feel as trip staff that we should know about please can you email me. This could include allergies, diet requirements, medical conditions not mentioned before, or just the details of any recent medical condition that you think we should know about (e.g. just getting over the flu), if applicable. If you are not sure if the school has certain information please let us know, as it better we get it twice, as opposed to not at all.
Can you also let me know about any medicine that your child will be bringing and the dosage. Please hand this into a member of staff on the Friday, with the student's name and the dosage written on it and we will ensure that it is given to your child at the correct time.
If your child gets travel sick, and I am hearing the road is extra bumpy this year, please can they come with 2 doses of travel sickness pills that you would normal give them. One to take just before we leave and one to hand into a teacher to look after until Sunday.
Information sharing with you.
We will be checking in with the school administration everyday to confirm we have got there etc.
We will also try to post on the PE Blog daily posts, including expected time of arrival at ISPP on the Sunday (4-5pm).
Contacting us
For emergency contact only of the group please use the following numbers:
School Trip Phone: 017 555 127
Ben Wiggins: 012 897 992
Packing lists
Please refer to the parent's presentation, which can be found at the PE Blog.
We are asking that students wear their PE kit when cycling and running. We have also given the students a red ISPP hats and t-shirt to wear so that we can spot them easily during the weekend. One drawback of this is that all the kit is identical, making it easy for the students to mix them up. Can you please ensure that they get marked inside with your child's name. I expect we will collect a fair bit of lost property over the course of the trip. Naming items will help them get reunited with their owner!
Valuable items and pocket money - If these are bought, the students will have to be responsible for them! A small amount of money in small notes is appropriate, ie for buying a ice cream. Card games and books are great for the evenings and the bus journey.
Bikes
Please ensure that the bikes coming with the students are bought to school on Friday morning and parked in the designated area. We will hand out tags to the students to attach to their bikes so we know which bikes to take with us.
Can you also please ensure the tyres are pumped up and the chain is oiled.
Students who are cycling must bring a helmet.
Arriving back in Phnom Penh
We will try to email you on Sunday morning a time that we expect to be back at ISPP. It should be between 4 and 5pm.
Packed Lunch & Snacks
Students will need a packed lunch for Friday to eat on the bus.
Students, especially the cyclists, might also want to bring some of their favorite snacks to eat during the bike ride. This should be kept separate from the packed lunch so it not accidently all eaten up by the time we have left Phnom Penh on Friday!
Please feel free to contact me with any other questions you might have.
All the best,
Ben
