Timetable
Please see below an exemplar timetable for most of the weeks this term. On Friday, the children will have Drama lessons from Drama 4 Kids to help develop their speaking and listening skills.
Kingfishers and Nightingales have their PE day on a Wednesday. Children are expected to wear a white round neck t-shirt, black shorts or joggers, black trainers or plimsolls. As the weather turns colder school cardigans and jumpers can be worn over the top of the t-shirt.
