Thank you for returning EE2 forms, Lagganlia Permission Forms and Behaviour Contracts. Pupils have also been given a
sheet with suggested clothing and items and will be given another 'Packing Sheet'.
Pupils should pack their own suitcase and tick off what has been packed on the left of the Packing Sheet. There is a space to tick on the right hand side when repacking. Please remember to put names on all belongings since there is a very strong likelihood of getting muddy and wet!
Pupils who indicated on the EE2 that they required medication will be issued with an EE2b medication form. Families should place all medication, including travel sickness pills for the outward and return journey, in a clear, named plastic bag with the EE2b. Give it to the class teacher when registering in the Hall on Monday morning, who will check medication against the forms we have received.
A table for each class will be set up in the Gym Hall on Monday morning 29th September. Drop off luggage behind the table and then please wait outside in the playground. Pupils can register that they have arrived in school – and give class teachers any medication - from 8.30am– before going back out into the playground.

£10.00 spending money can be brought (though £5.00 is adequate) and should be looked after by your child in a named purse or wallet. Loose change is best. No mobile phones and we also would advise AGAINST bringing valuables such as Nintendo DS etc. Roll on deodorants only please.
All children should have visited the toilet before coming back into the Hall at 9.15am. We will gather in the Hall until the buses arrive. (Parents are kindly requested to wait outside to ease congestion.) Pupils will then carry their own luggage and board the buses one class at a time. Suitcases will be placed in the hold and cannot be accessed until we reach Lagganlia, so make sure to take day bags with packed lunch and drink onto the bus.
When on the bus, Sciennes’ staff will help stow jackets and day bags and check seat belts are fastened correctly.We expect to leave between 9.30am and 9.45am and families are welcome to wait to wave us off.
Obtaining a signal is very difficult but we will try to post some updates for families on our adventures using this blog:
https://scienneslagganlia2016.blogspot.co.uk
and will post photographs there when we return.
We expect to return to Sciennes around 12.30pm on Friday 14th October. If there is any significant change to the expected arrival time then school will send a text message to all parents. Updates about the journey will be posted on the blog.
Families are encourage to send mail to:
