If your child has pierced ears they must be able to  remove them themselves or please supply plasters to put over them for health and safety reasons. Please can you make sure that your child has the appropriate kit on these days otherwise they will miss their PE lesson. 

 

Water bottles are allowed in class for the children to access throughout the day. Please can you supply a named bottle for the children to fill with water and these can be left in school and these will be sent home on a Friday.
