Year 3 Trip to Greggs, Local Park and Swimming

Dear Parents/Carers,

I hope you are well.

I would like to take the remaining Year 3 children on a short trip to Greggs (by McDonald’s) and the nearby park on Monday morning, weather permitting. This is for the children remaining in school and not going on the Edgmond residential.

We will leave school at approximately 9:30am and return by 11:30am. Please ensure your child brings £3 spending money if they wish to purchase something from Greggs.

These children will also be swimming in the afternoon – so will need their swimming kits.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Thank you for your support.

Kind regards,

Mrs Jones

Year 3 Swimming kits and PE

Dear Parents and Carers,

Just a quick reminder to bring swimming kits tomorrow, and a reminder, due to several recent losses of kit, to please name every item of clothing, including shoes, socks and underwear!

Also, please can we request that all children bring their normal PE kit in on a Monday, leave it in school, and take home on a Friday. This is because we will be practicing for Sports Day over the coming weeks and also taking opportunities to do PE when they arise, due to timetabling changes that sometimes occur at this time of year.

Thank you for your continued support,

The Year 3 Team.

Fidget toys/ fugglers/ dumplings/ squishies

Hello,

I just wanted to reiterate Mr Jones post about fidget toys. They are causing a lot of issues within class at the moment as children are bringing them in and swapping/ taking them off of one another, then deciding they want them back and so on. We had an incident where 4 were taken last week. Thankfully these were eventually returned to their owner, but this takes valuable time out of teaching to address. In a few cases the dumplings/ soft toys being brought into school are very large and children are -despite being asked to keep them in their lockers- are putting them on their desks or taking them out at break times. Mr Jones’ post is below in case you haven’t seen it. I thank you for your anticipated support.

Fidget Toys in School – Please Read.

We have recently seen an increase in children bringing squishy or gel-filled toys into school and referring to them as “fidget toys”. Unfortunately, many of these items are becoming a distraction during lessons and social times, and several have burst, causing mess and disruption within classrooms.

At our school, fidget resources are used carefully to support children with identified sensory or learning needs. Where appropriate, these are either:

  • Provided directly by the school
  • Specified as part of a child’s Individual Provision Map

To ensure these resources maintain their intended purpose and to minimise disruption to learning, children should not bring fidget toys or similar items into school unless they meet one of the criteria above.

Any such items brought into school without prior agreement will be confiscated and will need to be collected by a parent or carer.

We appreciate your support in helping us maintain a calm and focused learning environment for all children.

Many thanks.
