Sun Protection
The weather is currently wonderful which means the
children have been able to use the school field more often. We advise that all
children have a sun hat in school at all times. If you wish your child to put
on sun cream in school, we also advise they have this in school everyday, again
clearly labelled with their name. They will need to put their own lotion on, so
it might be better applying before school.
Sandals can be worn by children when the weather is
hot and dry. Apologies as this was not made clear in a recent newsletter.
Children should not wear sandals at other times as the playground is often wet.
School Crossing Patrol
We would like to ask that parents and carers
remind their children that the crossing will be unmanned until the Road Safety
Officer is able to recruit another School Crossing Patrol. We will keep you updated.
Rubber bands/bracelets
Recently children have
been making their own rubber bracelets and bringing them into school. This is
mostly a fun and creative hobby but the policy is that children should not wear
jewellery and such items have caused some disruption and distraction in class. Following
discussion with staff and children I have decided to allow children to wear
these bands into school as long as they are taken off before children enter
class. Children can wear them at playtime, but again must take them off before
class.
If their presence becomes
disruptive in class we
may have no alternative
but
to ask children to not bring them into school.
Summer Parish Fair
As interest in a school summer fair has been minimal, the school will instead be supporting the parish summer fair. We are still however asking for volunteers who would like to be involved in supporting this parish event. If you are able to help out, in any way, however small, please let the school office or Mr. Condon know. Thanks to the parents who have already offered their support.
