Lunch
All children will have thirty minutes to eat their lunch and thirty minutes
to play outside.
We are a healthy eating school and therefore encourage healthy options.
Please provide a suitable cold lunch for your child. Here are a few ideas:
Sandwiches, pasta, wrap or pitta bread with healthy fillings;
A piece of cheese;
Yoghurt;
Fruit/vegetables;
Water or juice.
We ask you not to give your child sweets, chocolate, cakes or fizzy drinks.
The children are encouraged to return uneaten items of food to their lunch
boxes so that you have an idea of what they are not eating when they come
home.

Please name lunchboxes clearly

during which they are allowed to take part in an exciting and enriching
activity. Activities include bench ball, scootering, design technology, art,
craft, ICT and den building. The children choose
their activity on a Monday and so will know
whether they need to bring in waterproofs, coats or
trainers for the Friday session. Walking in the
Woods and Pond Dipping will require the children to bring in some
wellington boots/outdoor shoes/clothes.
Weather
During the summer term children will need a sun hat and should wear
sunscreen - which is to be applied at home. School fleeces are for keeping
the children warm outside and should be removed when inside.

Illness
If your child is not well, or is suffering from something that may be
passed on to another child, please keep them at home and call Mrs Reynolds
(School Administrator) on 625858.
It is especially important that children, who have highly infectious
conditions such as gastro-enteritis or have vomited, stay at home until the
condition is clear; this is usually after a minimum of 48 hours.
Inhalers for asthmatic conditions must be clearly labelled and named and
in date. Children in KS2 keep their own inhalers in their school bags. It is
necessary for your child to take this inhaler with them to all PE sessions
and to any learning taking place out of the classroom. Should your child
no longer need the inhaler, please let the school know in writing.
Medicine can only be administered at school if written permission is given,
stating your childs name, medication, amount and frequency of the dose.
Antibiotics will only be administered if it is required four times a day.
Please arrange to talk to a member of staff so that a relevant form can be
filled out and signed.
Please keep us updated of any condition, ailment or allergy that your child
has.

this by providing a sensible environment for children to work to their best of
their ability. Homework diaries show homework set and reading records. Your
children will be expected to share this with you and we ask that you sign the
record to acknowledge completion of any tasks set.
Parental Help
All parents are welcome and encouraged to come and spend time in Key
Stage 2. We welcome help in many different ways including hearing
readers and helping out on visits.
Reading: Parent help is vital for this as in addition to regular reading
sessions in class, we promote individual reading with an adult.
If parents are volunteering on a regular basis they will be required
to complete a police check form (DBS)

If you have any worries or concerns about your child,

or their progress, please do not hesitate to speak with us.

We are sure your child will enjoy learning, make

new friends and be very happy
