Children in Willow 1 and Willow 2 will be taking part in their first PE lesson on Wednesday 8th January 2020 (and every following Wednesday).

Please send them to school wearing their purple ‘Elm Park’ PE tshirt, black jogging bottoms (plain, no logos) and black trainers/plimsolls (plain, no logos).  They will wear this PE kit all day. The children can wear their purple jumpers and cardigans as usual over the top of their PE shirt.

As usual, no earrings or jewellery is to be worn in school. Hair should be tied back ready for the lesson.

A full list of ‘plain black’ stockists can be found on our website.

Thank you

Reception Team

Hi all

I know some of you are disappointed that we are not holding a nativity show this year but please rest assured that your children will still take part in the Christmas Nativity in Years 1 & 2, giving you two more years of watching your child sing.

We have decided to celebrate some of the other times of the year, including Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Easter.  So, instead of looking like a very cute donkey or angel, your child will look like a very cute chick, lamb or perhaps a bunny rabbit!

Taking part in a concert in the Spring term means that your child will be older and more confident and settled to perhaps speak by themselves or with a friend.  They may be even be ready to take part in a smaller group dance on stage by themselves!  School readiness is very important to us so rushing children to complete everything in the first term (including standing on a scary big stage!) can wait a little longer.

We have decided to mark Christmas with a very special Grandparent’s stay and play session which we hope will be popular and well attended.

As always, photos and videos will be shared to capture the lovely moments.

We do ask that if you have any queries or comments about anything we do, please speak to us directly.  We are always available morning and afternoon or at the end of the telephone or emails.  My email address is ktoms@elmparkschool.co.uk and Mrs Cornhill can be reached at amunro@elmparkschool.co.uk.  Please keep our public Facebook page a place to share and celebrate all the wonderful and fabulous things that happen.

We wish you a very happy Christmas holiday and we can’t wait to see everybody again in the Spring term!
