Class Routines
P.E. kits consist of black or maroon shorts or tracksuit bottoms, a plain white T-shirt, Gledhow P.E hoodie and black or white trainers.
Year 1 children have a 15-minute morning breaktime and a 15-minute playtime in the afternoon. They have their lunch at 12:00 until 12:20 and play outside from 12:30 until 1pm. A school menu can be found here https://www.gledhow.leeds.sch.uk/school-meals. Children may also bring a healthy packed lunch (no nuts please). Each child will need their own, named water bottle in school.
School milk is available at a cost and children may bring a healthy snack (e.g. a piece of fruit) to eat at morning break time.
Your class teacher can be contacted via Class Dojo, however, for any urgent messages please contact the school office.
