PE
PE days are Tuesday and Thursday
Swimming will take place every day until the 26th September. Your child will need to come to school with their swimming kit underneath their school clothes, as well as a towel in a plastic bag, a swimming cap and goggles. When it is their time to swim, they will walk to the pool, remove their school clothes and get into the pool. After swimming, they will then get changed in an individual changing pod. Their swimming kit will need to be dried overnight, ready for the next day.
Please make sure your child brings in their PE kit and keeps it in school. Information on the correct kit can be found on the school website.
