COATS

Now the weather is colder and more unpredictable, please could all parents ensure their child has a coat with them in school. We are going to have the children outside in the playground at both break and lunchtime even if it is raining slightly to ensure everyone gets fresh air at some time during the day, which is good for everyone’s wellbeing.
