Form 4
- PE will be on a Thursday – please ensure children have their PE kits with them on this day.

10. Mornings
Children line up when the bell goes at 8.55am. If you need to look for lost property, it’s best to do this at the end of the day. It is important that your child is on time so they have the best possible start to their day.
Miss Loureda comes down to the playground with the children if you need to have a quick word.
Please call the school or tell the teacher in the morning if someone else is coming to collect your child.

11. Homework
Maths and English homework will be given out on Friday (to be returned the following Wednesday).
The homework is normally a follow up of something they have done in class and so should be suitably challenging for your child. If it is too difficult or they are spending longer than half an hour doing it, please write a note to that effect in their homework book.
Children are expected to read at home every evening.

12. Healthy Lunches
Children bringing a packed lunch to school should bring a healthy selection of food.
No sweets
No chocolate
No nuts

13. School Trips
Trips are often arranged in connection with what ever the children are learning about.
Occasionally (but rarely!) a contribution is required, without these contributions the trip can not take place.
Please ensure that you return the permission slips at the bottom of the letters – otherwise your child will not be able to go.
Children always wear their school uniform on trips.

14. Queries
Should you wish to speak to Miss Loureda please to make an appointment.
In the morning please let us know if anyone else will be collecting your child – unless you have told us directly, we can not let your child go.
If your child needs to take medicine during the day it must be taken to the office and a permission slip completed.
