in for your child to make sure that the lunch does not contain any nuts. We
have some children and adults in school that have severe reactions to nuts so
we need to protect them. Can we also realise that the children should not have
sweets in school but chocolate biscuits are fine.
Well Done Barbados
for
winning this week`s reading award yet again you really are hard to beat ,Come
on Jamaica and St Lucia you can do it. We cannot emphasise the importance of
spending just five minutes supporting your child with their reading already we
can see the positive impact this is having on the children who do read
regularly. Who will be this week`s winners? Thank you to those parents who
practised handwriting with their child there will be some more phonics practise
sheets coming home this week.
Please ensure
that your child has their P.E kit in school ready for Tuesday`s P.E session.
Please also make sure that your child has plenty of warm clothing ready for
them to use the outside learning environment as the weather does seem to be
turning much colder. Please could you send back any school uniform that you
have borrowed. And make sure that children`s clothes are all clearly named.When
washing can you check that your child has the right uniform as last week a
couple of children lost their actual clothes. With our fantastic new outside
learning developments we are ensuring
the children Please continue to look out
for messages and pictures on the Mead Primary School face book page and the
