You have all been very generous with bringing in gifts/sweets/cakes when children have had birthdays. However, we are aware that some families feel uncomfortable about this. Therefore, instead of gifts being sent in, please could we offer a treat for their birthday:
When your child has a birthday, we would like to invite them to wear own clothes for the day instead. If their birthday falls on a weekend or over a holiday, they can choose either to wear own clothes on the Friday or Monday before or after.
