Dates for Diaries

General

There is no Show and Tell. This was a transition between Reception and Year 1. We will give children the opportunity to develop their presentation and listening skills when we do our presentations of the homework towards the end of the term.

If someone else is collecting your child from school, please could you either email or ring the school office admin@holmeschapelprimary.cheshire.sch.uk. We must be informed if it is another family member or another adult collecting your child. We will phone at hometime if we are uncertain.

Please ensure you have labelled your child's clothing and snacks to avoid any confusion between the children. We are a nut free school and snacks should be healthy. 

Toast money can be payed via ParentPay.

Please talk to your child about their meal choices so that they know what to order each day. We would be very grateful if you could ensure that your child is able to use a knife and fork to cut up and eat their hot meal.

Jewellery other than stud earrings must not to be worn in school for safety reasons. Toys and teddies should not be brought in to school either.

Ensure your child can fasten their own laces and zip up their own coat. If they can't fasten their own laces, please wear appropriate shoes without laces. 

Wellbeing

There is a wellbeing tab with lots of activities for the children to access. Take a look at the links and the activities in the files.

We look forward to a happy and successful year with your children!
