Reminders

Water
Please make sure your child brings water in a labelled water bottle to school every day. This helps them stay hydrated throughout the day and can also be used at lunchtime.

Milk

Children who are four will be offered free milk from Cool Milk every afternoon.  Once children turn five, parents must log on to the Cool Milk website to arrange for paid milk for their child if required.

Healthy Snack
Children may bring a healthy snack for morning or afternoon playtime, such as fruit or low sugar snack.

• Snacks should be kept in their tray (not their lunchbox) until eaten.
• Please avoid chocolate, crisps, or high-sugar snacks.
• As we are a nut-free school, please avoid any snacks containing nuts to keep everyone safe.
• More information can be found on our ‘Snacks & Lunch’ page.

School/Packed Lunch
All children in EYFS are entitled to a free school lunch. However, if you choose to bring packed lunches, please make sure they are in a wipeable lunch bag or plastic box.

PE Kits
Please ensure your child’s PE kit is kept in school each week. Please make sure all items are clearly labelled with your child’s name. Kits will stay on your child’s peg and will be sent home at the end of every half term for washing. If it needs washing sooner, please return it on a Monday so it is available for the whole week.

Forest School
Children do not need any extra clothing for Forest School in EYFS as we provide all in one waterproof clothing and wellies for each child. During the colder months please send in gloves, hat, scarves and some spare socks.

Please ensure all book bags, coats, jumpers, P.E. kits, snack or lunch bags and water bottles are clearly labelled with your child’s name
