Enrichment Mornings/Afternoons The Year group has been split into 4 different groups so each group will be a mix of the three classes. They should now all know their groups! The children will take part in two activities for half a term and then switch the following half term (ICT, Swimming, Performing Arts, Creative learning). This is to allow the children to have longer more purposeful sessions.

PE and Sports Children need to bring in their full PE kit (both outdoor and indoor) on Monday for the whole week. Please send socks if girls are wearing tights. Earrings are to be taken out by your child – they are not allowed to take part in swimming or PE with them in. Swimming is on a Tuesday (dependent on the enrichment timetable) and will need to make sure that they have their full swim kit. If your child is not swimming please let the class teacher know. They must have a waterproof swimming hat and either a one piece swimming costume or fitted shorts. PE is on a Wednesday however this is subject to change which is why it is important to have their kits in all week. To encourage independence, we will not be able to phone home if a child has forgotten their kit.
Uniform Wearing the correct uniform to school is important. Please support us by ensuring your child comes to school wearing their uniform in a smart way. Please label all clothing!
