Dear Parent/Carer,
Thank you for your patience in awaiting further information about Physical Education. As you can imagine, it is challenging organising 2 PE sessions for each of our 16 classes when Government guidance only allows for outdoor PE at the moment, however please see attached the days that have been allocated to each class effective from Monday 31st August 2020. These days may be subject to change and this would be communicated to you by the class teacher via the Mossend App.
Please note, that PE will be outdoors in all weathers, therefore we ask that children come to school wearing something suitable for this. Government guidance states that we must provide children with 2 hours of PE per week and being outdoors is the norm for most schools across Scotland; so during this period children should come to school in their PE kit to limit clothing and belongings being transported from home to school and back.
Advised PE Kit
• Joggers (ideally waterproof)
• Outdoor trainers
• T-shirt or polo shirt (no football teams or colours)
• Change of shoes for indoors (optional)
• Change of socks (in the event socks get wet whilst outside)
• Waterproof jacket, with hood.
• Water bottle filled at home (water fountains are in use for refills).
Children will stay in their kit for the duration of the school day and will be supported to take part in PE even if they do not have their kit, so don’t worry about this. Remember, jewellery should be left at home on PE days for health and safety and any medication pupils may require (such as inhalers) should already be registered in our main office and the appropriate paperwork completed.
Many thanks,
Team Mossend
