Y6 netball team

A reminder for netball tournament tomorrow.

We are leaving at 2pm and games start at 2.30pm. The tournament will finish at 5.30pm. Children need PE kits and trainers, as well as warm clothing for between matches. I highly recommend that children bring a water bottle and an extra healthy snack for energy – they have 4 games to play.

You may want to consider a waterproof in case it rains between matches also as games rarely get called off.

Thank you.
