Year 5 Pony Day

20 June 2023 (by stjohnb)

Dear parents and carers,

It looks as though the weather will hold for us tomorrow! With this, I ask that children have suncream on before coming to school tomorrow. Majority of the activities will be indoors however there may be an opportunity to enjoy our lunch outdoors.

I have reminded the children today about appropriate clothing for riding and also to bring a packed lunch in a disposable bag. This is what Aintree Racecourse have requested of the children: 

Children may wear their own clothes; however long trousers/leggings and sensible footwear must be worn.
No jewellery allowed.
Long hair must be tied back in a low pony tail to allow for the fitting of the riding hat.

All children must arrive at school for 8:55am so Mr MacAreavy can start shuttling us down to the racecourse ASAP. We will return to school for 3pm as usual.

The  children are very excited for tomorrow and I know we will have an amazing day!  There were a couple of concerns earlier today of falling off the horses as they go  over the jumps … I have assured them that they won’t be asked to complete the national  course tomorrow! 

Thank you and don’t forget to check Twitter for pictures tomorrow night! 

Mrs Thomas
