SNACKS AT BREAKTIME May I remind parents of children in Key Stage 2 that the only snacks allowed at playtime are fruit or vegetables. We have never allowed cereal bars but these seem to have crept in, without me noticing, over a period of time. Please feel free to send in an apple, some grapes, a banana, some carrot sticks, cucumber etc. I will remind the children of the things they are allowed to bring in assembly on Friday. All other snacks will be sent home with children at the end of the day. PLEASE ALSO REMEMBER WE ARE A NUT-FREE SCHOOL AND CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BRING NUTS OR PRODUCTS CONTAINING NUTS IN PACKED LUNCHES. WE HAVE SEVERAL CHILDREN WITH SEVERE NUT ALLERGIES IN SCHOOL.
