A few helpful reminders • PE kit should be brought in on a Monday and taken home on a Friday. We also have an indoor lesson and they needs shorts for this. • All items of the PE kit need labelling, along with ALL SCHOOL SWEATSHIRTS. • Lost property box is located in the Year 3 / 4 corridor. This is cleared termly. • PE T-shirts should be in the correct house colour, NO FOOTBALL SHIRTS. • Tie back long hair • No jewellery – earrings need to be taken out for P.E or can be taped if newly pierced. • No nail varnish • Water bottles need to be labelled and kept water tight. • Each child should have a recorder • Remember 20p on a Friday for Fruit Tuck Shop.
A few helpful reminders • We need sensible sized school bags. • Handwriting pens and pencils are available in the classrooms. • Please use a black pen or pencil for homework (no biros). • We prefer children to use the pens and pencils provided. If children have their own pencil cases, they can use them occasionally in the classroom – please make sure everything is named. • Recorders will be needed in Year 5 to continue the learning from Year 4.
Things to look forward to! • Ely trip (reply slips due tomorrow please) • Year 5 performance • Camping • And…some fantastic progress!
