Dear Parents,

Next week, Swimming for Year 3 will be as follows:

Monday 14th June – Yellow and Green house team children ONLY, at Newport Swimming Pool. Children will walk to the Pool and back again, within the school day. Please pick up your children from school in the usual way.

Tuesday 15th June – ALL year 3 children, at NJS pool.

Please ensure your child has their swimming kit on the relevant days, and also brings in their PE kit on a Monday, to take home on a Friday.

PE kits are essential to have in every day at the moment, as we have to take advantage of hall and field availability to practice sports day events and additional PE lessons, often with short notice.

Thank you for your support with this.

Kind regards,

The Year 3 Team.

Dear Parents and Carers of Year 3,

Please note that due to Newport Pool visits, Year 3 will also swim on the following dates during the first two weeks back after half term:

Tuesday 8th June

Tuesday 15th June

Please ensure that ALL children from ALL house teams have their swimming kits on these days.

After this date, Year 3 swimming will revert to Mondays.

Kind regards,

The Year 3 Team

Dear Parents and Carers of Year 6,

Please note that due to timetabling issues, Year 6 will now swim on the following dates during the first two weeks back after half term:

Monday 7th June

Monday 14th June

After this date, Year 6 swimming will revert to Tuesdays.

Kind regards,

The Year 6 Team

Dear parents,

This is a reminder to ensure your children bring in their normal PE kits on a Monday, to keep in school and take home on a Friday.

Currently, we are doing swimming lessons on Mondays, but we also try to do a separate PE lesson each week in addition to this. Unfortunately, due to bubble organisation rules and timetabling of other events, it is not always easy to predict which day we will be doing PE, so we require the children to be prepared for PE on any given day.

Thank you for your support with this – we appreciate the efforts you are making to prepare your children for their day!

Kind regards,

The Year 3 Team

Dear Parents,

New dates for the Swimming Galas for Year 3 at Newport Pool are as follows:

Monday 7th June 2pm – Red and Blue house teams only.

Monday 14th June 2pm – Yellow and Green house teams only.

It is currently my understanding that, unfortunately, parents are not allowed to spectate at the pool. Therefore, the children will complete the galas in the normal school day, and walk back to school afterwards. Please collect your children from the usual place at school.

After the galas, we will be leaving the swimming baths at around 3pm, and we will do our best to get them back to class for 3:20pm. However, there is potential for them to be slightly late (not later than 3:30pm) arriving back. Apologies if this is the case on your child’s gala day.

Thank you for your continued support,

The Year 3 Team.

Dear Parents,

As you may now be aware, Year 3 children will be swimming at school, this Monday (26.4.21).

Please could you ensure that your child has a suitable swimming kit (i.e.: not bikinis, etc) and towel, plus a swimming cap.

We can provide several hats, but we do not have enough for a full class. Children may also wear goggles if required.

Kind regards,

The Year 3 Team
