Letters will be sent out at the beginning of each new unit explaining the theme.

BOOK BAGS & HOMEWORK

During each week your child will bring home a variety of books . These will include books that they have read, need to practi s e, or their own choice from the school library. If you have any comments , these can be jotted down in the reading log kept in your child's book bag. At times we will give them other activities, which may require your support.

SNACKS

Your child will be provided with a free fruit snack to eat during the morning break. They are encouraged to bring water in a suitable container with their name on it. Plastic water bottles can be purchased from the school office for £1.

END OF THE SCHOOL DAY

Please let us know in advance, either by telling the class teacher or school office, if you have arranged for your child to be collected by somebody different.

From time to time , it is necessary for children to take prescribed medicines during the school day. When this happens please speak to one of the secretaries in the reception area. They will ask you to fill in a short form giving details of the medication and when it is to be taken. We can only agree to administer medicines prescribed by a doctor.

It is our policy that children with asthma should have full and immediate access to their reliever inhaler at all times , E very effort is made to support them and to promote awareness of their needs throughout the whole school. T he school keeps a register of children in the school with asthma, as well as an asthma emergency kit.
