PE Days and Swimming

For those whose child is going for the first time here is some key information:

• Children bring in a swimming costume (one piece bathers or swimming trunks and a swim cap) and a towel in a bag that the wet costume can be transferred into (waterproof).
• Children in the yournger years (Years Reception to year 2) often start by changing before they leave school.
• Staff split the children into smaller groups and supervise and help children as needed in the group changing rooms.
• The sessions in the pool at Brittania are taught by the instructors – the SJB staff support the children to arrive and get to the poolside and then help them to change back into school unoform and return to school.
• The first session on Monday 2nd June will be the intro session that the instructors use to work out which group your child goes into as there is always a wide range from the new to the pool  through to confident swimmers.

Have an old suitcase at home?

We would love to have it!

Next half term, we are once again turning our attention to improving our playground and making it an even more exciting and imaginative space for our children. One creative idea we’ve come across is using old suitcases in play – they can become dens, treasure chests, shop counters, secret storage, or even part of an adventure game! The possibilities are endless when it comes to imaginative play. To help bring this idea to life, we are kindly asking families, friends, and neighbours to donate any old and unwanted suitcases you may have at home. If you have one gathering dust, we’d love to give it a new purpose in our playground. Thank you in advance for your support!
