Things to note:

PE is on Tuesdays and Fridays. On PE days please send your child into school in their PE kit. PE may be inside or outside, so please dress for the weather! If your child has long hair, please tie this up on PE days and remove earrings.
As it gets colder, please also send hats, scarves and gloves.
The children have the opportunity to read in school every day so please make sure their books and reading diaries are in school every day. If your child needs their book changing please encourage them to put their books in the 'to be changed tray' (red) first thing in the morning.
Water bottles should be brought to school daily. Please make sure these are named.
Please make sure all coats, jumpers and bags are named.
A healthy snack can be sent in for playtime. We also provide fresh fruit as a snack in the afternoons.
