I take full credit for being totally and utterly correct to cancel the Sports Day last week ! Despite initial doubts, when the rain came down around 11am ish it was probably the happiest I have been in a long time! There was a sense of relief as deciding whether to cancel is always a very difficult decision to make, especially when weather forecasts are pretty unreliable! The decision is also made more difficult by the knock on effect to the rest of the day; the biggest complication is the picnic lunch.
In order to simplify sports day and lunchtime arrangements for our second attempt:
- Pupils will need to bring a packed-lunch to school regardless of the weather
- Pupils who are entitled to Universal Free School Meals (Year R,1,2) and Free School Meals can book a packed lunch from the kitchen. Parents will need to complete the form sent out by Mrs Simpson in the next few days.
- Parents can bring the rest of the picnic items with them on the day
If the weather is fine and the sports days runs to plan, picnic lunch will happen as normal. However, pupils will bring out their packed lunches and eat them with parents along with anything else that is brought along by the parents. If the weather is poor and the sports day is cancelled, this approach means the children already have their lunches sorted. It just means that parents will need take their picnic baskets home and work their way through the pork pies during the afternoon by themselves.
