The children have shown great resilience and have settled in well. 

We have a couple of notices for you: 

  • Year 3 Sports and PE will be held on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. 
  • Could you send your child's PE kit in on Monday, and then they are welcome to leave the kits at school for the half-term.
  • Girls with earrings can either take their earrings out on PE days or you can send them in with medical tape for their ears. Please can you show them how to use the tape? 
  • As we are an eco-school and to improve the quality of the air in the classroom, we would ask the children to bring in one plant each. 
  • AR and Doodle Maths log-ins will be sent home to you at the start of the week.
