Croeso - Welcome to Year 1

​It is lovely to see the children back safe and well for the final term in Year 1. The children were very excited to share all their Easter holiday news. We have a very busy last term ahead, and we are looking forward to all the exciting learning and activities that will be taking place.
​
We will be spending lots of time outdoors and we are hoping for continued warm and sunny days. Please send your child in with a hat each day, as well as applying sun cream each morning before school. On hot days, if you wish your child to apply an extra layer of suncream before lunchtime then please send in a labelled suncream (roll on is best) for them to apply themselves (with guidance from us). Thank you!

Snack
We have snack time every morning in class. Please see the newsletter email for information on how to sign up your child to our school fruit tuck club. Alternatively, you can send in your child each day with a fruit snack instead of signing up to the club. There will be milk and water freely available.
Things to remember:


Water bottle
Please send your child into school each day with a labelled water bottle. We will be sending home these bottles each evening to be washed at home, refilled and then returned to school the following day. The water bottle needs to be filled with water. No squash or juice please!

Spare Clothes
A spare change of clothes (e.g. pants and socks, trousers/skirt, t-shirt…) will be very useful. Please send the clothes in a small named drawstring bag and we will keep this on your child’s peg in case your child needs a change of clothes during the day.
coat
Please send your child in with a raincoat every day. The weather is very changeable, so a sunny early morning can quickly turn into a rainy day.
