Dear Parents,

I am sure the hot weather will not have escaped you! We have our sports day planned for later in the week. When I wrote about this last week, the forecast looked like it would be hot after much hotter days today and Tuesday but this has changed over the weekend. A MET office warning is in place for the excessive heat so it would be foolish to plan vigorous exercise out in the sun during this time. We are therefore cancelling sports day with a view to moving it to our reserve day next week of Thursday 2^nd July. I'm sure you are disappointed by this but it really is the prudent thing to do.

We will be managing the heat this week by encouraging the children to drink continually. We will stop them vigorously playing at break times (ie no football or similar) and encourage them to sit in the shade and find the breeze. Classes may relocate to shady areas outside if the classrooms become too hot. Fans are being used in class.
