Yachting, yachting, and more yachting!

BBYC Tuesday 1st November

Here are a few last minute reminders before the yachting trip tomorrow:

If your child is in the first group at 9am (the notice that went home on Friday lets you know what group your child is in): 

The children need to be at school before 8:30am as the bus will be leaving at the bell.

Please make sure your child has the following items with them:

They will need to wear their togs under their clothes.  Please bring a towel, sunscreen, hat, aqua shoes or an old pair of sneakers, a spray jacket if they have one and also a change of shorts and shirt to go back to school in.  Your child will not need to wear uniform.

Buckland’s Beach Yacht Club does not run the programme on a day when the wind or sea conditions are unsuitable.  We will let you know if this happens by Facebook and email as soon as we know.

Well done Room 3 for putting in such a huge effort at athletics today!

You all did so well and it was great to see so many of you participate! 

Thanks to our lovely parents who helped out today! :)
