There were mixed emotions this week when we returned to school. There was some worry, excitement and happiness. The over riding feeling is that it’s all ok though. Getting to know our new classes and routines made everyone feel better. Below is some information about PE days and other useful things that you’ll need in Key Stage 1 (year groups 1 and 2).
Below is some information about your child’s new class and some of the day-to-day things that will help your child settle into their new class and routine. Please name everything your child brings into school – 90 children share the KS1 corridor!

- 1,2B PE days are Monday and Friday

PE kit, following the school uniform policy, can be worn all day, on both days. Ensure your child can fasten their own shoes if they wear laced shoes.
In Key Stage 1, swimming will now take the place of the Friday PE lesson and be shared throughout the year for the three classes. We will notify you when it’s your child’s turn to swim.
