Parents/carers…

We have been working really hard to improve our lunchtime play offer for the children.  Mr Lawson and the lunchtime team have introduced a wide range of ‘play zones’ which have been really popular with the children.

Obviously as we head into the Autumnal weather, we will not be able to use our field, for some of the play zones, on days like today.  However, where weather allows, we would like to continue using the field through the winter.  We will only allow children to use these ‘zones’ on the field if they have a change of footwear (old trainers are ideal) and a coat.

If you are able please do send your child into school with a pair of old trainers and an old coat they can use at lunchtimes.

Thank you, as always, for your support.

Children will need to wear sports clothing and to bring a drink and moulded studded football or rugby boots. Parents who have any questions can get in touch through the club’s social media and email contacts, which are listed at the top of the poster.

Have a fab weekend – and no, it’s not time for the heating yet!

We talked in assembly today about Kindness as a power to improve mental health. Being kind to ourselves as well as being kind to others. We talked about the ripple effect of spreading kindness. Children will continue this conversation back in the classrooms later today.

Below is a poster the children will be sharing in class and some top tips to support at home.

Thank you,

Mr Rotherham
