A few reminders:

PE - PE days will be Tuesday and Thursday this half term. Children should come to school dressed in their school PE kit on these days. 

Water - It is important that children bring in a bottle of water each day which they can access at any time and refill throughout the day.  

Snacks - Children are encouraged to bring a healthy snack to eat at breaktime - no chocolate, crisps or sweets. We are a nut free school. Snack can also be purchased from the school kitchen using credit on your child’s dinner money account.

We have lots of exciting things to look forward to. For more detail about our Spring curriculum, please click here.
