Im ortant notes and dates

PunctualityPlease ensure you arrive on time for school!

School starts promptly at 8.50am therefore children should be at school at 8.45am to ensure we can start on

time. The doors to the Reception classrooms will be closing promptly- if you get to the doors and they are closed you

have to go round to the office! When children are late it disrupts their learning and takes them longer to settle.Learning starts at 8.50am ensure your child does not

miss out!

Outside wearWith the wet weather we have been having and will continue to have this term please ensure children have appropriate clothing for school. This means a waterproof coat and, if possible, a pair of named welly boots. A great idea is to include a pair of named socks in your childs book back as they can sometimes become wet inside welly boots.

Cooking money:This term we will be enjoying a range of exc

cooking experiences with a focus on healthy please do remember the 1 a week contributiocooking fund. If you would prefer to do it term
