This week we had a visit from Beth, a dental nurse. She explained what could happen if we do not keep our teeth clean and brush them twice a day. The children enjoyed brushing the large teeth ensuring they were sparking before Beth left!

We love seeing our children enjoying the playground equipment and encourage active play during the school day. However, once children have been collected at the end of the day, we kindly ask that they do not continue to use the playground equipment.

Our staff have additional responsibilities to carry out after dismissal and need to ensure that the school site can be closed promptly and safely.

We would be grateful if all children could leave the playground area with their adult once they have been collected.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
