IMPORTANT INFO 📣

As it’s set to be ☀️ ‘el scorchio’ ☀️please can we remind all parents to make sure their child has:
• suncream (applied before coming)
• a named sun hat
• water bottle
• spare clothes

We plan on splashing about to stay cool so a change of clothes would be grand! 💦

We will play out straight away tomorrow to use the coolest part of the day, so a member of staff will be on the gate to let your child in!
