Please rememberthat all Primary School children go outsidefor recesses, and they need to bedressed for the weather. If you haven’tsent your child with a hood or hat oncold or rainy days, they will notice itwhen they get outside. Teachers onrecess duty want to keep your childrensafe and healthy. When it is rainy orcold, we have a rule—nothing on thehead, stay under the shed. It is almostalways fun to be outside when there istime and space for play, no matter theweather.
