Our Teddy Bear’s Picnic will be on Tuesday 3rd September from 1.30-2.30pm. Remember to bring a teddy to this if you wish to and you do not need to wear school uniform. Here you will get a chance to spend some time with your buddies. 

School will start on Wednesday 4th September and your child will be in for either a morning or an afternoon session. Just as a reminder, the session times are outlined below:
Morning session 9am- 11.30am
Afternoon session 12.30- 3pm

The week commencing Monday 9th September, all children will be in full time. 
There will be water and milk available throughout the day and children are able to help themselves to this to ensure they say hydrated and ready to learn! 

PE sessions will take place on a Wednesday afternoon so please on these days send your child into school wearing their PE kits. PE will start week commencing 16th September. The children will not require water bottles as we have fresh water and milk available during the day.
