SPORTS DAY – TUESDAY 5 JULYFoundation and Key Stage 1 from 9.30 - 10.30am,
Key Stage 2 from 10.30 - 11.30am.
After their races the Foundation and KS1 children will watch a few of the KS2 races and then return to school for the rest of the day.
If the weather should be inclement, the reserve day is Wednesday 6 July at the same times.
Please ensure that your child has their PE kit at school (KS2 need their House tee-shirt) and a sun hat and sun cream are advisable if hot. Children are allowed to wear trainers if they wish.
All children should bring a water bottle (plastic only).
NOTE KS1 - PLEASE can you check that your child’s plimsolls FIT and are in their PE bag.
Please do NOT park in Coucy Close – in the first instance park in the Elms car park but if that is full you may park on the back playground.
In the past some of the children got upset when their parents came over to see them and they were then not allowed to go and sit with their parents, please could we ask that parents keep to the opposite side of the track to the children and not come over to speak with them. Also for this reason, we would ask that Nursery children are collected in the usual manner and at the usual time from the Nursery and not taken from the sports field.
If you are able to volunteer help at Sports day please see Mrs Spencer.
