IMPORTANT HEATWAVE AND SWIMMING LESSON UPDATE Dear Parents and Carers, After a great deal of consideration and having exhausted all available options regarding transport to the swimming pool, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the next two swimming sessions. Families will either receive a refund for these two outstanding sessions, or we will endeavour to rearrange the remaining sessions later in the summer term. We will provide further information as soon as arrangements have been confirmed. Children are still welcome to come to school wearing their PE kits on the days that swimming would have taken place over the next couple of days. We would like to reassure you that we have measures in place to ensure that all children remain safe, comfortable and well cared for during this period of hot weather. Our arrangements have been reviewed in line with current government guidance and advice from our Trust Health and Safety Lead, and we will continue to monitor conditions closely. In School: Throughout the school day, we are taking a number of steps to keep children cool and hydrated: Classrooms are kept well ventilated using our integrated fan system, alongside open doors and windows where appropriate. Blinds are kept closed to reduce direct sunlight and help maintain a comfortable temperature. Children are encouraged to drink water regularly and are given frequent opportunities to refill their water bottles. Playtimes and lunchtimes are being adapted, with children remaining indoors or in shaded areas during the hottest parts of the day. Physical activity is being reduced where necessary, and staff are monitoring children closely for any signs of heat-related discomfort. How You Can Help: To support your child during the warm weather, please ensure that: They bring a clearly named water bottle to school every day. They wear suitable lightweight school clothing. Sun cream is applied before school, where appropriate. They bring a named sun hat for outdoor use. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school. Kind regards, Miss Hildyard

This week Joshua class are learning all about the different jobs on board a pirate ship, the parts of a pirate galleon and why Cornwall was a good place for smuggling! They are challenging themselves to make treasure chests and halve pirate treasure between pirates. In drawing club they are being inspired by the Pirates next door and are thinking about where they would go on a pirate adventure and what they would hide in a treasure chest! They are loving making pirate ships and finding treasure to share with their friends!
