    Could children bring a bag to school on Monday to take all their work and other items home.

    Year 6 

    Monday- Y6 Football Competition & Bringing home of books

    Many of the children have chosen to take part in a football competition on Monday. Please make sure children are in PE kit for this. We will be sending the children’s books home on Monday. Please make sure your child has a bag to put these in. If your child normally cycles to school, please consider whether they will be able to cycle and carry all of their things.

    Tuesday- Y6 Science & Water fight

    The children will be taking part in a science experiment that could get messy. Please send them in wearing older shoes/ trainers that do not matter if they get soapy and wet. The children will also be allowed to take part in a water fight on the field in the afternoon (this was the prize agreed for completing the Easter Maths revision packs.) Please send the children in with a water gun or a container that they can use to take part with. We will only be able to offer children a plastic cup for this. Please do not send children in with any water balloons as we will not be allowing the children to take part in this.

    Wednesday- Leavers T-shirts & Surprise

    We will be giving the children some time to sign each other’s T-shirts on Wednesday. We have arranged a surprise for the children on this day which will be best enjoyed by the children if they are in their PE kits. We ask that the children bring in a school t shirt separately for signing.
