Ditch the Dark Day was supposed to be tomorrow, Friday 19 January. Due to the weather warning that has been put in place, we are postponing it until next Friday, the 26th January.
This is a day were we are encouraging our pupils to walk, scoot or cycle to school. The previous note had said that children may ‘accessorize their uniforms in a bright and creative way.’ To make it easier, we have changed this to a full non-uniform day (wear bright clothing) and decorate any bikes and scooters in a bright, safe manner.
We will hold an assembly to discuss the importance of being bright and seen on darker days and prizes will be awarded to some pupils who make a special effort.
Parents are encouraged to actively travel with their children on the morning of Ditch the Dark Day.
This will be a fun day whilst highlighting the importance of being seen while travelling to school. We would ask for a small donation of £1 per pupil, which will be used by our School ‘Eco’ Council for ECO SCHOOL activities in the future.
