Sports Day 2019

Next Friday is Sport Day and we would like all the children to come to school wearing their SJF PE uniform. Children should also have sun hats to wear and sun cream applied at home, before school if it is sunny.

There will be no Celebration Assembly as the children will be taking part in a ‘round robin’ of activities throughout the morning in groups. The children will then enjoy an earlier lunch so that we can accommodate both the FS2/Key Stage 1 competition at 1.00pm and the Key Stage 2 at 2.00pm.

As usual we welcome family and friends to join us in order to support and encourage all the children, but we ask respectfully that you remain in the designated area. Thank you

FS2 & Key Stage1(Years 1-2) Competition

races for children in FS2 and Years 1 and 2 start at 1.00pm
the gate will be opened (and supervised) at 12.50pm - and remain open until 1.05pm

Bad Weather

In the event of bad weather a text will be sent out late morning advising parent/carers that the event is either going ahead or is cancelled. If the event has to be cancelled then it will be rescheduled for Tuesday 2^nd July, and the same arrangements will apply. Unfortunately if this event is also cancelled because of the weather our Sports Day will not be rescheduled, so we are all praying for good weather!
