Willow Class Swimming Spring 1

18th December 2020

Dear Parents and Carers,

During the first half of Spring term, Willow class will be attending swimming lessons with the instructors at Central Park Leisure Centre every Thursday afternoon. This will commence on Thursday 7th January 2020. The children will leave school in the afternoon, accompanied by Year 5 staff, and will walk to Central Park Leisure Centre. We will return to school by approximately 3.10pm. 

What you need:

• Swimming costume or swimming trunks (no bikinis please!)

• A towel

• A named bag to carry and store their items in

• A swimming hat 

• Goggles (not essential, but can be worn if preferred)

Please note, no aerosols or powders should be given to children, as these can cause problems for children with asthma. Please also ensure that your child brings their swim suit to change into at the pool, and does not wear it under their school uniform. Children should also be wearing shoes which they are able to take on or off quickly and without adult support. 

Due to the current climate, we will be in constant contact with the swimming pool to ensure the lessons are Covid safe. If there are any changes to legislation, which impact the swimming lessons, you will be contacted via the school blog and Facebook as soon as possible. 

If you have any questions, queries or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us on the year group email address: year56@broadford.havering.sch.uk. 

Yours sincerely,

Mrs Cocks & Mrs Smith
