Grass on the field
The grass was mowed over the weekend which means there is lots of grass to play with on the field - FUN!!
Please remember, the grass belongs to everyone, however, if others have piles of grass they are playing with please don't take it from them. There is plenty of grass on the field for everyone to have fun.
We do not want to have to say "no grass play" but if arguments arise, this will be the choice the teachers will have to make.
Play fair, and everyone can have fun.
