Our PE day
PE days are still Monday.
Could we please remind all grown ups that children’s hair
must be tied back and earrings must be removed.
Money for snack
Milk for children under 5 is free, if your child has turned 5
and would still like milk, this will need to be paid for from
the week after their 5th birthday. For those over 5 milk is 20p.
Toast is 25p Please can children continue to hand all money
to the class teacher in the morning.
Homework:
Reading and keywords will continue to be sent home every
day. We will practise your child’s words and book on a
Wednesday of each week but if they need a change of book in
between this please feel free to pop a note in their diary
and ask your child to place it in the change box first thing.
