Class timetable, visual timetable
Snack and lunch
Buddies PE
The children enter the cloakroom and change into their indoor shoes. They then go into class, select their lunch option on the self register on the smart board. They have 15 minutes of play before going over the class visual timetable of what they are doing that day. School dinners are ordered first thing in the morning. We meet up with our P7 buddies for 20 minutes at the end of the day on Tuesdays to do a variety of things such as practise our ball skills or share a story. We have PE on a Thursday. Shorts and t-shirts must be named and are kept in school until a clean set is sent in.
