Noticeboard

The SS Great Britain – This Friday, 20th May. 

Children can wear their normal school uniform for this trip but make sure they have:

A packed lunch, snack and water bottle 
A waterproof
Sunhat
(All the above in a backpack)
Good shoes (incase decking is wet)

• You will find below a grid showing the sessions to be taught each week. They do not exactly follow days as each class has different sessions due to support and PE times being different but it allows you to see the week as a snapshot of sessions. 
• Could you please make sure children have a change of shoes suitable for PE in their PE kits as most of our PE will be outside this term. Thank you.

We will always aim to get outside, whatever the weather, as much as possible so children will really need a waterproof coat each day.
