Lunch break is split into to 2 sittings to accommodate all children in the hall.
When not eating their lunch, children spend all breaktimes outside, unless we experience severe weather conditions. Please provide children with suitable wet weather clothes and warm layers in the winter and a sunhat and sun cream in the summer.
We recognise that from time to time, children need a change of scene during long periods of concentration, so at the teachers discretion the children may have a short period of structured activity outside the classroom during the afternoon.
