Weekly News 15.03.24

Hello everyone,

Thank you for all the donations of cakes and biscuits for our Red Nose Day fundraising efforts. We raised £177.40 yesterday from the cake sale and non-uniform donations and the total on our Just Giving page currently stands at £24 so we are well on our way to our target of £250 – thank you everyone for your support!

Administering Medication / Calpol in School and Nursery

Please do not send medication into school with your child.  All medication that needs to be given during the day must be given to staff at the school office / breakfast club by parents or whoever is bringing the child to school and a medication permission form MUST be completed.  The only exception to this is children travelling on the minibus and medication should be given to the minibus driver for him to give to school staff.

Calpol will only be administered at 1:00 pm. If your child needs it more than once during the day, then they are unlikely to be well enough to be in school.

If a child is recovering from a fracture or injury causing increased pain, we understand that they might need 2 doses of Calpol or painkillers during the day but this must be discussed with and approved by Mrs Johnson.

If you have any questions about the above, please do not hesitate to speak to Mrs Johnson or the school office staff. Thank you.

Is my child too ill for school?

We have seen a number of children absent from school recently with vomiting, diarrhoea, or general coughs and colds. Children must not return to school or nursery until 48 hours after their last bout of vomiting or diarrhoea.  If your child has a high temperature or is not well enough to be in school, please do not send them in.

We have children and staff in school who are immunosuppressed so we ask you to read and adhere to the NHS guidance below, to help us keep staff and other children safe and well.  Thank you in advance for your support.

Hi everyone,

We’ve had a lovely week in school and it was wonderful to see children (and staff!) enjoying our World Book Day activities yesterday. Well done to all the children for their competition entries and for their imaginative extreme reading locations, including sitting in Darwin’s Oak, hanging from a climbing wall, in a swimming pool, nursing baby lambs, to name but a few.

Here’s a taste of what we got up to on World Book Day …

 

I hope you have a lovely weekend.

Red Nose Day – Friday 15th March

Next Friday, we are fundraising for Comic Relief Red Nose Day through a non-uniform day and cake sale. Children can wear red or ‘dress for joy’ by wearing something that makes them or others happy! We would like everyone to pay £1 for wearing non-uniform and donations can be sent into school or made on our JustGiving page

We would also welcome donations of cakes/biscuits to sell at breaktime but nothing containing nuts please. It would be helpful if you could attach the list of ingredients in home-made products (for allergy reasons.) Children can bring in cash for the cake sale which will be paid into our JustGiving account. Thank you in advance for your support.
