As the temperatures dip, we still encourage children to enjoy time outdoors. Fresh air, movement, and unstructured play are incredibly valuable, even on chilly days. With that in mind, we kindly ask parents to ensure children come to school with appropriate warm clothing. Please send your child with a coat (and gloves if possible), so they can comfortably and safely take part in outdoor play and outdoor activities.
We are delighted to share that the children’s behaviour during outdoor play has been truly fabulous. They were reminded that if the excitement became overwhelming and they were unable to cope, playtime would need to end. They rose to the challenge with enthusiasm and enjoyed their time responsibly, which was wonderful to see.
Safety remains our top priority. We continually monitor the playground conditions, and if at any point the surface becomes slippery or unsafe, the area will be closed. On this occasion, the crystallised ice did not pose a danger, so outdoor play was able to continue safely and joyfully.
Thank you for your support in helping us keep everyone warm, safe, and happily engaged outdoors.
