General Reminders
PE: We have two PE sessions a week, Tuesdays (Outdoor) and Thursdays (Indoor). Please make sure the children come to school in their PE kits on those days. If they have long hair, ensure it is tied back and earrings are taken out or covered.
Library: Each week, the children will have the opportunity to visit the school library and choose a new book to read and enjoy. This is on a Wednesday so please ensure their Library book is in school on that day so they do not miss out on this opportunity.
Water Bottles/Snack: Please ensure that your child brings a water bottle and a healthy snack to eat during snack break.
