smoothly, children would benefit from having their own pencil cases,
clearly labelled with the equipment they need for their daily
lessons. This includes, pencil, ruler, rubber.
Entry and Exit points for Year 3
The children will now enter and exit the building from the door
previously used by Years 5 and 6 on the playground. This will ensure
the children have easy access to the playground where they are
dropped off and picked up each day. A teaching assistant will be
available to bring them in in the morning and a teacher will go out
with them at the end of each day to see that a parent or carer has
picked them up.
