Dol-y-Moch Information – 22.4.22
22.4.22 Hi everyone. I have checked the weather for where we are going. As it stands, it will be overcast, with the temperature averaging around 15 degrees. I will be packing a combination of hoodies, t-shirts, long sleeve tops as well as shorts and sports trousers. Try to not over pack as you need to carry your case but have a little of each.
Miss Shilton and I are very much looking forward to our trip. We will see you on Monday. Please arrive in school between 11:45am and 12pm. Any questions – comment below and I will get back to you.
Hello. On Monday 25th April, when the children return from the Easter break, some of Year 6 will be going to Plas Dol-y-Moch. Please check this blog for any updates over the holiday. If you have any questions over the holiday, please comment on this blog. We will check it regularly and get back to you as soon as we can.
Below is the powerpoint which we shared at the parents meeting with all of the key information on it.
Key details:
Children need to arrive in school between 11:45am and 12pm on Monday 25th April.
If entitled, a lunch will be provided for your child before we leave. Otherwise, send a lunch in as normal. The children will eat when they arrive in school.
We will be departing at 12:45pm.
Children will return on Friday 29th April.
Medication If your child requires any medication (e.g inhaler) or travel sickness tablets, please bring them in a separate, named, disposable bag and give them to either Mrs Morris or Miss Shilton on the morning of travel.
It is a long journey to where we are going. Phone reception is also difficult to get when we are there. The blog will be updated as regularly as we can through ourselves or our contact with Mrs Frankish. But as we said at the meeting – no news is good news. Your child will be busy making memories.
Do we bring 1 pair of slippers and 1 pair of trainers
Hi do the kids need to take their own snacks ?
Hello
No children don’t need to and aren’t allowed to bring snacks. If entitled to a school lunch, one will be provided tomorrow. If not, send lunch in and your child will eat when they arrive in school before departing for Dol-y-Moch.
All meals are provided when we are there.
There is a tuck shop which Miss Shilton and I will open in the evenings. Children will need money for that but please do not send notes, send change only.
do we come in school uniform or non-uniform
You can wear your own clothes, Yousuf. The journey is around 3 and a half hours so make sure they’re comfortable.
thank you
Are we aloud to bring a water bottle on the coach with us on the journey?
Yes, a bottle of water is ok.
I know we we need to bring a Suitcase but do we need to bring a rucksack
You can bring a rucksack on the coach with you. The suitcases / larger bags will go underneath.
Can we bring a white board to entertain our self?
On the coach
You’re welcome to bring a notebook and pen.
There is a little request, is there any chance that I could pray in a room five times a day if not there’s no problem.
You can certainly pray in the morning and at night and during any free time you have once we are back from activities. We won’t be able to provide time during the day as we will be leaving the centre in the morning for our activities and generally not returning until around 4pm.
Thank you miss
i will definatly be studying for sats and hopefully get a great score
I’ll be testing you as we walk up that mountain, don’t worry!
Are we allowed to bring GoPros
No electronics Yahya… I wouldn’t worry about photos or videos; I am sure that the adults will get lots!
Just had to Google what a GoPro is, Yahya!
No electronic equipment is allowed, Yahya, as we don’t want it to get lost or damaged.
Miss Shilton and I will make sure we take lots of photos.
Do we have to bring a suitcase or just a backpack
Whatever you bring you have to carry and it must have all the things you need as shared by Mrs Morris and with your parents.
Which gate do we arrive at?
the gate by the office

Yes, Abubaker, as we will leave our luggage here before getting on the coach.
