Year
2’s will be having specialist PE sessions first thing on Tuesday
mornings. This means that the children need to be changed into their
PE kits and be ready promptly after registration. It would be very
much appreciated if an extra effort be made to arrive promptly for
this so that your child can benefit fully from these sessions.

We
have received a report of head lice in school. Please would you check
your child’s head TONIGHT and if you find signs of infection treat
all the family with a suitable preparation. Thank you.
As
this is an on-going problem you should check your child’s hair
every few days. Regular combing with a fine-toothed comb and using
conditioner seems to be the best way of preventing infection. It
also helps if long hair is tied back.
