Non-Uniform Day – Friday 13th June 2025 A reminder that we will be having a non-uniform day this Friday, 13th June. For a ‘charge’ of £1, your child will be able to come in their own choice of clothes that day. All money raised will go into our ‘School Fund’ – this is money that we use to subsidise the cost of school trips and to buy prizes and treats for the children.
Sleep
In school we sometimes notice children who appear to be very tired in lessons. These children usually tell us that they have stayed up very late watching TV or playing computer games. Sleep is a vital need, essential to a child’s health and growth. Sleep promotes alertness, memory and performance. Children who get enough sleep are more likely to concentrate better and are less prone to behavioural problems and moodiness. That is why it is important for parents and carers to help their children to develop good sleep habits.
How much sleep does a child need? The recommended sleep for children in primary schools is 10 to 12 hours, dependent upon age. That means that if you child gets up at 7.00am they should be going to bed between 7.00pm and 9.00pm. Here is a suggested effective bedtime routine for younger children:
1. Have a light snack (e.g. a milky drink and biscuit). 2. Put on nightclothes. 3. Brush teeth. 4. Read a story. 5. Make sure the room is quiet and at a comfortable temperature. 6. Put child to bed, say goodnight and leave!
The advice is to try and make bedtime a positive and relaxing experience without any form of screen time (TV, tablet, phone or games console), as children who have any kind of screen time before bed can experience difficulty falling and staying asleep. Flyers Attached to this newsletter are flyers giving information about two upcoming events for parents as well as some safety advice from Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service.
Please note that due to Eid last week, there was no Achievement Assembly on Friday and therefore no children were chosen to receive certificates or awards last week. |
