Healthy lunch boxes

Should you choose for your child not to have school meals, then here are some guidelines which we would ask you to follow for your child’s packed lunch:

• Lunch should include at least one savoury item, which your child will be encouraged to eat first
• Lunches must not contain sweets, confectionery or fizzy drinks
• No nut-containing products (this includes chocolate spreads which contain nuts)
• As a healthy school, we would encourage you to limit items containing chocolate to one small snack-size cake or biscuit (not a chocolate bar) and perhaps put in just a few crisps rather than a whole packet, or give them this once a week as a treat
• We would also advise not to pack too much, as the children are given up to 30 minutes to eat their lunch, as we would like them to be able to play as well. Any food which is uneaten will remain in your child’s lunch box so that you are able to monitor what they have eaten.

Tissues

We would be most grateful for donations of tissue boxes from parents please. We are very low. Thank you in advance.

Mini Marathon

In school next week, all the children will be running, skipping and walking 2 miles in support of WWF-UK. The Reception children will be splitting the mileage across the week (so a bit every day) and KS1 children will complete the mileage in their PE lessons. We have taken part in the TCS Mini London Marathon in Schools since it started in 2020, and every year the children have really enjoyed the challenge. Each child will receive a certificate for taking part and, as a school, we will receive a trophy for taking part.

2 miles is a long way for the age of our children, and we would like to support their efforts by raising money for WWF-UK.

There are always many different reasons why people choose to run the London Marathon and most of the time this is because they want to challenge themselves. We are always encouraging the children at school to rise to a challenge and our Mini Marathon next week will be one such challenge. You can see below some examples of others who have taken on the challenge of the London and Mini London Marathon themselves.

In 2024, at the age of 19, Lloyd Martin became the first person with Down's Syndrome to complete the London Marathon. 

The London Marathon (in its 45^th year) takes place on Sunday 27^th April and is always inspirational to watch. If you have a chance on Sunday to watch it with your children, please do. It is brilliant!

Marlow Town Regatta & Festival

• Date: Sunday 15^th June

We have the opportunity again this year to join with other Marlow primary schools to sing at the Regatta Festival on Sunday 15^th June. It is a lovely event that children remember for years to come.

We would like as many of our children to take part as possible. Please sign up below if your child is able to attend. 

Over the next month or so, the children will be practising the songs that we will be singing at the Regatta Festival, and we will have some visits from Sheila Wilson, who will help with the practices.

Please have a look at the Marlow Town Regatta website for more information and past photos. We hope many of you will be able to attend this lovely event.
