Each day, children will need suitable uniform according to the weather, water bottles containing water only, healthy snacks for break, reading book and reading diary every day. Please could we ensure any packed lunches are also healthy. Books will be changed when needed. Children should not wear jewellery to school apart from stud earrings.

Just a reminder that children will not need to bring in additional stationery or pencil cases as this equipment will be provided and that toys should be left at home.

PE for Kingfisher and Kestrel will be on Monday (orienteering) and Friday (gymnastics) and PE for Fox will be on Monday (orienteering) and Thursday (gymnastics). Children are to come to school in their PE kit (weather appropriate) and trainers on these days to avoid the need to change in school. Earrings need to be either removed for PE or covered in plasters that you can provide please. Just a reminder that gymnastics requires children to grip with their feet and therefore bare feet are necessary for safety reasons.
