Tuesday
Anti-Bullying Week As it is National Anti-Bullying Week, this week our children have been focusing on different aspects of bullying. We always cover this important topic during everyday life at school developing and encouraging kindness and respect. Class presentations from the work covered this week have been shared during praise assembly and displayed on the anti-bullying wall in school. Ask your children about what they have been learning this week. ATTENDANCE
Winter Vomiting ‘bug’ (Norovirus)
Attendance figures for week ending 11th November 2016.
We are beginning to experience the seasonal increase in outbreaks of diarrhoea and vomiting caused by the Winter Vomiting ‘bug’ (Norovirus). Please help us prevent more illness by washing your hands frequently using warm water and a liquid soap, especially after using the toilet and before eating or preparing foods. When you have washed your hands dry them thoroughly. If anyone is unfortunate enough to contract the virus please ensure a clear 48 hours has passed since the last episode of sickness or diarrhoea before returning to school.
