Wet Weather Breaks
Research has shown that outdoor play is an essential element in helping children to becoming healthier individuals and better learners. Playing outside does not only increase children’s fitness levels but also helps children to develop their social skills and increases their ability to use their imagination. Most importantly a break in the fresh air helps children to become better learners as they are able to concentrate more in class and become more focused learners.
As we head towards days of typical ‘Caithness’ weather could we ask that all children come to school prepared for the elements. We encourage outdoor play and unless the weather is extremely bad we will encourage pupils to play outside – please note we would never force a child to play outside if the weather is truly awful.
Please ensure that your child comes to school with suitable outdoor wear and footwear. Waterproof jackets, if possible waterproof trousers and wellington boots should be worn on wet days. We also recommend a change of clothes that could be left in school.
Many Thanks
