Spring
During the warmer months, it is important that children drink ample amounts of water each day. Please ensure that your child has a plastic re-fillable bottle labelled with his/her name.  We have mineral water dispensers throughout the school where students can refill their water containers.  We would also like to see children wearing hats outdoors and using sunscreen, which can be applied at home in the morning before coming to school.
