Picnic in the Past Supplementary Letter
Date: 18th Jul 2017 @ 12:48pm
Friday 7th July
Dear Parent(s) / Guardian(s)
As part of our current history topic on seaside holidays in the past, we are inviting you to come and join us for our very own ‘picnic in the past’ on Thursday 20th July 2017 where we will experience an afternoon as people would have done 100 years ago.
We would be grateful if the children could come dressed in Victorian clothing for the whole of that day and, should you be able to attend, then please being foods that would have been eaten in the early 1900’s (Victorian clothing for yourselves is optional). Feel free to choose from the food ideas below, some of which would have been enjoyed both in the past as well as now.
Also during the afternoon, the children will be performing an ‘English Country Dance’ for you and will be given the opportunity to play some old fashioned games and build sandcastles in the sand(pit).
Should you be unable to attend then we would appreciate it if you could send a plate of food for your child to bring to the picnic clearly labelled with their name.
The children will be eating their school lunch as normal and the picnic will begin at 2pm.
Should you require any further information then please do not hesitate to speak with either of us. We hope to see as many of you there as possible and feel sure that it will be a fun and interesting afternoon.
With kind regards
Mrs Taylor & Mrs Duffy
Food Ideas:
Cold Meat (cured) Cold Pies
Crisps Fruit Cheese
Cakes Blamange Jellied Eels (only joking!)
