We would like to ask that Beyblades and other toys do not come to school.

We've noticed a bit of a trend lately with toys coming to school, and while we appreciate the enthusiasm, we need to remind everyone about our "no toys from home" rule.

In particular, we've had a few incidents with Beyblades causing disruptions and some minor arguments. These spinning tops, while exciting, can be quite hazardous in a busy classroom or playground.

We understand that toys are a big part of childhood, but there are lots of options at school already - including the PE shed and class equipment. Bringing toys from home can lead to:

• Distractions: Toys can take attention away from learning activities.

• Conflicts: Sharing and ownership disputes can arise.

• Safety Concerns: Some toys, like Beyblades, pose a risk of injury.

• Lost or Damaged Items: Toys can easily get lost or broken at school.

We want to create a space where everyone feels safe, happy and included. Bringing special toys to school becomes an issue when other students feel left out if they don't also have those items. There are also problems if the toys get misplaced - this can lead to quite a few tears.

We appreciate your support in reinforcing this message at home.
