General Tips
• Children up to the age of six need to be in bed very early in order to be ready to learn
• A healthy breakfast is essential for optimum learning
• If your child is absent from school, please write a note to let us know the reason for absence. You will receive a letter to inform you of days missed. After 20 days a report has to be sent to the NEWB
• A healthy lunch is very important. It is a good idea to buy a lunchbox before school starts so that your child can open and close it easily. Please make sure the lunchbox has your child’s name on it.
• It is such an achievement for your child to put on a coat and close it. This is a skill in itself. So many coats look alike, it is very important to put your child’s name on the tag.
• A routine of reading stories to your child is a great idea. It is vitally important for your child’s interest in books and reading.
• A school bag needs to be big enough to carry a homework folder.
• The first day begins at 10 o’clock and ends at 12 o’clock.
• You will have an opportunity to buy the school tracksuit when you come to meet the teacher on 10th June.
• A change of clothes in a bag with your child’s name would be appreciated. This will be kept in school in case of toileting accidents.
Thank you for coming to your first meeting as a parent in our school
