A little note to remind all parents –

· No earrings are to be worn to school after the first six weeks of piercing.

· Some children are finding it difficult to take off jumpers or coats and put these on again. Please practice this at home as we have been trying to do this independently in class and your support would be so appreciated.

· If you have not sent in a pair of wellington boots for outdoor play can you please do this as soon as possible.

· Please remember to send in a small healthy snack for break e.g. pancakes, sandwiches, fruit, cheese or yoghurt No chocolate, sweets, buns, fizzy drinks or crisps please.
