Year 1 – Shoes and socks

Good afternoon,

We kindly ask Year 1 parents to support their children in practising how to take off and put on their shoes and socks independently. This small skill makes a big difference during indoor PE lessons, helping us make the most of our time and ensuring a smooth start for everyone. Some children are currently finding this quite tricky, so a little extra practice at home would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your continued support!

Year 1 Team
