Rio Week

This coming week 20th-24th June is Devizes Primary Schools' Cluster Rio Day! We will be getting together with the local Primary schools to have an amazing week that will hopefully make some amazing memories.

Here are just a few reminders for our special week. Please return your permission slips so that your child can attend their event.

There are two large events that Great Bear are attending as a class, a Year One Athletics/Games event at Trinity School and a Whole School Athletics/Closing Ceremony event at Southbroom St.James. For both of these we will be travelling by coach and the children will need a packed lunch.

Some events are being held at Rowde, these are Judo and Swimming.

Some events are being held at other locations, these are Gymnastics-Melksham School of Gymnastics, Alternative Sports-Lavington School, Dance-Wansdyke. Children attending these events will be travelling by car and will need a car seat brought into school on the morning of their activity. No car seat will mean no travelling to their event.

Children will need their PE kit/swimming kit for their activity. If they are outside, they will need hat and sun cream and cold/wet weather clothes depending on the weather!

If your child is part of the Friday athletics they will need a white t-shirt with their PE kit.

If your child is a procession leader for the closing ceremony they will need their house coloured PE
 t-shirt, black shorts, trousers or leggings with black trainers, shoes or daps. They will also be wearing a Rio carnival costume in an Olympic colour, this will be made at school during next week.

Any questions, please do come in and ask me.

I will make sure lots and lots of photos are taken and posted on the blog,
If you are reading this blog please do tell other Great Bear parents! I love blogging and would like everyone to read it and see their wonderful children in action, especially during such an exciting week.
