Things to remember daily: 

• A positive mindset and a smile for Mrs McDermott 😊
• School shoes/ indoor shoes will remain in school  and children can come to school in their outdoor shoes everyday. 
• All children with long hair must wear it tied back. 
• Children only need to bring the essentials into school every day – pencil case, lunchbox and water bottle.
• A suitable coat is vital as we will spend time outside every day, for daily miles, star orienteering, playtimes and other outdoor learning opportunities.

Uniform in year 6

Thank you for ensuring all children have indoor and outdoor shoes for the start of the term.  They are already the best class I have had at organising their cloakroom – long may this continue! Indoor shoes will stay in school on their chair.  Children only need one pair of outdoor shoes that they will wear to and from school.  Children require their indoor PE kit at all times in school, whether they keep this in their school bag or place it in a bag on their peg – either is fine.

Monday Newsletters

Make sure you keep an eye on the newsletter as I will be posting important information and updates and sharing photos of our activities from the week. A lot of the newsletter will be completed by the year 6 media team, so it is great to see what your children have produced each week.
