Dothill Primary School, Telford

☀️ Hot Weather Reminder for Parents 🧢💧

With the sunshine in full swing, please help us keep your children safe and comfortable at school by making sure they come prepared:

🧢 Sun Hats – A wide-brimmed or cap-style hat helps protect little faces from the sun.

💧 Water Bottles – Please send your child with a refillable water bottle every day so they can stay hydrated throughout the day.

🧴 Sunscreen – Apply sunscreen before school. If your child needs to reapply during the day, please send a clearly labelled bottle in their bag.

👕 Cool Clothing – Light, breathable school uniform or PE kit are best for warm days. Children do not need jumper, cardigans or a fleece.

We’ll be encouraging shade breaks, water refills, and lots of sun-safe fun. Thanks for helping us keep everyone cool and protected! 😎🌿

Our Year 2 and Year 3 boys and girls had a fantastic time at Afterschool Football Club! ⚽ Mr Furey and Mr Abbott were so impressed by their skills, teamwork and determination. Great energy, great fun, and some future football stars in the making! 🌟

Thanks King Cone for Supporting our Summer Fair again 😀

Wow!! Wasn't the Summer Fair a fantastic event!

It's wonderful that so many families came together to enjoy the festivities. A huge shoutout to 'The Friends of Dothill' for their dedication and hard work in planning and organising the event. We are very lucky to have such a marvellous PTA.

A big thank you to all the parents who helped with setting up, running stalls, and the big tidy-up at the end. Your support and commitment are truly appreciated.

Also, a special thanks to the staff for their support, especially after a busy week. Your involvement in running stalls and helping with the clean-up made a significant difference.

It was indeed a real team effort and a great success! 🎉

Photos of the Fair will follow next week.

Have a fabulous weekend everyone.

A superb day out with incredible attitudes and behaviour from our Lego superstars. We couldn't have asked for more enthusiasm, confidence or team spirit...so proud!!!
