Dear Parents / Carers,

We have planned our sports day on Tuesday 19^th July at 9.30am – 11.30am on the top school field.  The children will participate in a carousel of athletic activities followed by competitive races on the running track on the bottom field.

Due to Local Authority Health & Safety advice and guidelines your child will not be able to participate in sports day if they are wearing earrings.  Please ensure earrings are removed and long hair is tied back.

Each class has been assigned a colour to wear so you can identify your child easily.  Please can you provide your child with the correct colour t-shirt for their class. Please ensure your child arrives at school already dressed in their PE kit (coloured t-shirt, shorts and suitable trainers or plimsolls) and a named water bottle in order to participate in the activities. Named sun hats and the application of suncream before school is also essential.

Listed below are the colours of the teams:

Year R:            Owlets - Green           Snowy Owls - Red
 

Year 1:            Barn Owls - Purple     Tawny Owls - Blue            Speckled Owls - Yellow
 

Year 2:            Wise Owls - Pink        Eagle Owls - White

Thank you for your continuing support and we look forward to seeing you all soon.

Yours sincerely,

Larissa James                                   

Headteacher
