Foundation Class Photo – a Henley Standard photographer came in at the beginning of term to take a photo of our new Oak Class children. This photograph is in the Henley Standard today, Friday 25th September, along with photos of all the new Foundation stage starters in the area.
No Nut Policy – may we please remind you that we have a no nuts policy in school, as there are several children with severe nut allergies. Please ensure all snacks and foods are free of nuts. These may include for example mini Bakewell Tarts, Battenburg, muesli bars, Nutella etc.
Healthy Eating – we would like to encourage all children to eat healthily at school. Please do not put chocolate bars and sweets into their home packed lunches. For ideas on healthy snacks please following this link – http://www.nhs.uk/Change4Life/Pages/low-sugar-healthy-snacks.aspx
Frubes and pouch style yoghurts can be quite messy if your child struggles to open them. Please find an alternative if possible.
