Water and Snacks

We are continuing our effort to get the children to drink plenty of water during the day, especially during this hot weather.  We are however finding that many children are choosing lesson time to ask to refill their water bottles.  We are currently trying to train the year 4 children to remember to drink and refill thier bottles at play time and lunch time breaks where there will be a drinks whistle five minutes before the end of play.  No child will be denied a drink, but we need to ensure that children aren't opting out of valuable lesson time for strategic drinks breaks!
Many children are coming to school without a morning snack.  The school provide fruit for children in Reception, year 1 and year 2, there is occasionally extra to share with the older children, however there isn't always fruit available for all children.  Please could you ensure your child has a healthy snack for break time in order to fuel thier brains until lunch?
Many Thanks
