Clothing:

Please ensure that your child’s clothing, shoes, hats, school bag and lunch box (if applicable) is clearly marked with their name and surname.

No aggressive looking / fantasy super hero clothing such as “Spiderman”, “Batman” or wrestling outfits may be worn.

 HATS AND SUNSCREEN ARE REQUIRED IN ORDER FOR YOUR CHILD TO BE ABLE TO PLAY OUTSIDE. UNFORTUNATELY, NO HAT AND SUNSCREEN, NO PLAY.

You are more than welcome to leave both a hat as well as a bottle of sunscreen for your child at school, provided it is clearly marked.  

Birthday Treats:

No sweets goodie packs will be allowed. This poses too much risk as far as suckers etc. that are put into the packs.
