- Our PE slots are Tuesday and Thursdays, so please could you send in a labelled PE kit
- I will put regular pictures on our class webpage (for those children who have permission)
- Snack money can be sent in a weekly, half termly or termly basis - it is £1:50 per week
- Lunch costs £12:00 per week
