PE

PE is on Tuesday afternoon and Thursday afternoon. Please ensure your child comes to school in their PE kit - yellow polo top, navy blue shorts/jogging bottoms, long-sleeved navy top, yellow socks and plimsolls/trainers. The children do not need to bring in their school uniform to change into. Please ensure earrings are removed or taped over.

Snack/Drink/Lunch

Snack is being provided daily and the children are actively encouraged to eat this, but if there is a particular fruit that your child will only eat, then please provide it in a named bag or container. The children can bring in a named bottle of water for snack and an additional bottle of squash for lunchtime.
