SUNHATS IN SCHOOL I’m ever hopeful that good weather is on the way so please take the opportunity to check that your child has a cap with a brim or a sun hat to bring to school (named please). Heads may have grown since last year so please do check that hats fit too! Well done to all the children who brought hats into school during the warm spell last week.

KS1 CHOIR (Y1 AND 2) KS1 Choir has now started back on Tuesday lunchtimes. There are spaces for any new children that would like to join. Please contact Ruth directly if your child would like to join: 07977 569 076.

SUNGLASSES NOT ALLOWED AT PLAYTIMES Please provide a cap or hat with a wide brim to protect your children’s eyes from the sun rather than sunglasses. Sunglasses can be quite difficult to manage for children at playtime as they have a tendency to fall off or get knocked off during energetic play.
