Your child has been selected to participate in a Tag Rugby Festival at Kingston Park on Friday 22nd June 2018.
We will travel to Kingston Park by coach leaving school at 9.00am and will return to school at 1.00pm.
As the children are out of school over lunch time a packed lunch is required. Children entitled to free school meals can be provided with a packed lunch from school free of charge but must bring their own drink. Please indicate below if your child would like a school packed lunch.
The children will need their P.E. kit, trainers and water bottle.
We are required by Health and Safety to inform you of the risks of the sport your child is participating in to ensure you consent to the risks involved.
Common injuries in Rugby include strains / sprains, bruising, dislocations, fractures and concussion.
Can you please complete the attached reply slip and return it to school as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs M Liddle
Head Teacher

Dear Parents and Carers,
We propose taking the pupils in Early Years and Year Two to Alnwick Castle on Wednesday 4th July 2018. During the visit the children will take part in Role Play and Craft activities.
The bus will leave school at 9.15am and we hope to return to school before 3.15pm. This year the cost of the bus and also entry into the castle has increased greatly. Therefore we are asking parents to make a contribution of £10 per child towards the cost and the remainder will be subsidised by the school.
Your child will need to bring a bag which they are able to carry by themselves containing:
A packed lunch and water bottle
Sun cream (labelled)
Cap
Waterproof coat
If your child may require medication during the trip, such as an inhaler, we ask that you let a member of staff know beforehand. You should ensure that you hand the medication to a member of staff on the day in its packaging with your child’s name clearly labelled on it.
Children in Reception and Year Two may request a free school packed lunch on the attached form, however children in Nursery must bring their packed lunch in from home. All children need to bring a drink in from home.
Please complete and return the reply slip as soon as possible.
We are now required by Health and Safety to inform parents of the risks that your child may face during the Educational Visit. These may include slips, trips and falls.
Yours Sincerely,
Miss Graham and Mrs Arkless

Larkspur Primary School is taking part in Gateshead Council’s ‘Go Smarter’ Child Pedestrian Training Scheme. The programme gives tremendous potential to improve young children’s judgements and behaviour in traffic, so laying strong foundations for the future.
The scheme is not intended to make children independent road users.
All children in Year 3 will get training every Friday morning between 8th June – 13th July 2018. (apart from 29th June 2018)
The programme will consist of four practical sessions where the children will be given guided lessons and practice at the roadside by adult trainers with no more than three children to one adult and two classroom sessions. Could you please ensure that the children come to school in suitable clothing on the training days. The children and trainers will be wearing hi-visibility waistcoats when out at the roadside.
However, if you do not want your child to take part, please either inform the class teacher or the school secretary.
Please remember that this training is a long-term project and is preparing children for future safety on the road. We strongly recommend that they be supervised by an adult outside of school hours and be accompanied by an adult whenever crossing the road.
If you have any questions about the training please do not hesitate to get in touch.
