Well-being
Birthdays and other celebrations
Children may bring in a special treat to share with the class on their birthday.
Please contact the class teacher to arrange a suitable time.
- Individual brownies, cupcakes and cookies are easy for your child to give out.
- All birthday treats must be nut free.
Please do not bring in gifts for the class, either for birthdays, or on other special celebration days.
Smart watches
We encourage children to wear a watch to school, to help them keep track of time and develop independence.
Many smart watches allow for phone and message contact, internet access, online games, and other features that they do not need in school.
Access to games via a smart watch distracts children from other social play activities and planned learning.
If your child does have a smart watch, please talk with your child about which functions can and cannot be used in school.
Some watches will allow you to limit the functions available to your child.
Learning
After the half term break, we will be doing some explanation writing. In Year 1, we will be explaining how we can save our planet by recycling and using less plastic. If you happen to see any plastic pollution during your holidays, it would be a great idea to encourage your child(ren) to participate in a bit of a clean up as a motive for their writing. This will give them more of a connection to the problem and inspire ideas for a solution. Please share photos with your child’s class teacher as we will discuss these when we return to school.

Birthdays
Birthday Treats
Children may bring in a special treat to share with the class. Unfortunately, parents cannot come in to celebrate with their child. The class teachers will do their best to send you a photograph.
Please contact the class teacher to arrange a suitable time.
• Brownies and cupcakes are easier for your child to give out.
• As school policy, the staff will not be able to help give out party bags or other gifts either for birthdays or on other special celebration days.
We have lots of birthdays over the holidays and into the first week back. Have a super day!
