Our Term 4 PE days are: TUESDAY OUTDOOR PE and THURSDAY SWIMMING

Swimming kit: your child should come to school wearing their swimming costume under their school PE kit. In their swimming bag they need to have a towel, goggles and a swimming cap. 

It would be very beneficial if you are able to practice with your child putting their cap and goggles on. It is also helpful to have long hair tied up in a bun when putting the cap on. 

Thank you,

Miss Drury :)
