Arrangements for Sports Morning and Summer Fayre

Dear Parents and Carers,

Please find below the arrangements for the Sports Morning and Summer Fayre to be held on Friday 8th July. We are very much looking forward to sharing the day with you all and hope to see as many parents, friends and family as possible at both events.

 Sports Morning

Sports Morning will start at 10am. Parents can arrive onto school premises from 9.50am and are asked to wait on the playground but not the field. A briefing will be held with parents at approx 10am on the playground. We are asking that children come to school in their school PE Kit (No football strips please) and they will spend the day in this clothing. The weather forecast is changeable at the moment, so please ensure that children have suncream applied if appropriate, sun hats are in school and a full bottle of water to take around with them is available. Also, if it is forecast to rain, then we may have to cancel the Sports Morning and we will look to reschedule.

The first part of the morning will consist of a carousel of activities aimed at technical sport skills in which the children will earn points for their team. Children will be split into mixed age teams and siblings will be in the same team allowing parents to be able to move around with their children and watch the different activities, positively cheering the children on. After the carousel, the children will regroup into their classes at the running track and a range of running races will take place. Children will sit in classes on the side of the track closest to the fence and parents are to position themselves on the other side. The children coming 1st, 2nd or 3rd in any race will be awarded with a sticker and they will also earn points for their team. Children will also be awarded with stickers for taking part. We will then collate all of the points and the winner will be announced to the children early next week.

 

We envisage the Sports Morning to be completed around 11.30am.

 

Lunchtime Arrangements

After finishing the races, the field will be cleared of school PE equipment. The children will all be taken back to their classes where they will organise themselves whilst parents set up their picnic. The field is yours to set up your own space and we ask that parents then come to their child's class to sign their child out. At this point, each Teacher will have a class register and we will ask that you sign to take responsibility for your child as the school staff begin to make the preparations for the organisation of Summer Fayre.

Should you still wish your child to have a Hot School Meal, or have chosen for them to have the cold option, our lunchtime team will be in school so this can be facilitated. Any children who have not been collected will have lunch as normal.

Following feedback from last year, the PTFA will be starting the BBQ as soon as the races have completed so you will be able to buy your lunch from our scrumptious team.

Unfortunately, we cannot allow parents to consume alcohol on the school premises and ask that this is not brought as part of the picnic.

Any children who have not been collected by parents will be kept safe until either someone collects them or the end of the school day. If you are aware that you will be unable to collect your child but still wish for them to be able to take part in the activities, please send them with money in a clearly marked envelope and explain to the teacher who will arrange for them to be escorted around the fayre.

Summer Fayre

 Summer Fayre will begin around 1pm. We have had confirmation of some exciting stalls and events which will be on offer throughout the afternoon.

At the end of the afternoon (approx 3.30pm), the raffle will be drawn and there are some exceptional prizes so please support us by buying many tickets (remember, you have to be in it to win it).

We look forward to seeing you in and around school on this date and hope you can join us for some or all of the school day.
