Living our Values 

We are balanced and fulfilled

Well-being 

A few reminders

• Please ensure your child has a spare mask in their bags just in case theirs breaks or gets lost
• Hats - your child needs a hat to access all the play areas and for PE lessons
• Water bottles
• Naming property - Please put your child's name and class code on all their uniform, shoes, hats and water bottles to ensure a safe return if they get left behind!  If they were here in FS, remember to change their class code.  

Optional afternoon snack before the bus

As students currently cannot eat on the bus, you are welcome to send in a snack that they can eat in class in the afternoon before they get on the bus. We will provide a window of time each day where they can eat this snack before their bus journey. Please remember that we are a nut free school and remind your child that they cannot share their snack with anyone.

Learning

Reading books 

Your child will be asked to change their ORT book on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.  Please refer to the video below to see how you can support your child's reading at home (same one as last week).  

Global Citizenship

Musician of the Month

This month we are celebrating the music of Celia Cruz and our video of the week is one of Celia’s most famous salsa songs:

La Vida Es Un Carnaval - Life is a party

School shoes 

Students wear black shoes that support the whole foot and allow them to be active. School shoes require at least a thick strap to keep the shoe firmly in place. Children can wear lace-ups if they can tie up their laces independently.

Students are asked to wear different shoes for PE.  These should be comfortable trainers which also support their feet.  Trainers for PE can be any colour.  

Birthdays

Happy birthday to these lucky people celebrating!
