Welcome back!

WELCOME BACK! Whilst you have been at home, we think you might have heard of this guy!

We thought so! Well he’s still hanging around so we have asked some of our story book friends to help explain how to you can stay safe at school.

1. KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF! The Smeds and The Smoos say “It’s important you don’t touch each other so you don’t spread germs BUT there are some nice things you can do, like giving yourself a hug and waving at your friends. Why don’t you pass a smile around the classroom every day?!”

Look at Zog and his friends keeping a safe distance apart! ☺

2. SIT WITH A SPACE INBETWEEN YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS WHEN YOU LEARN AND EAT. Our friends from Room on the Broom say “You can’t squish into a small space like us, you need to have a space between you all the time. Your teachers will make sure your classroom is set up to help you with this.”

3. SNEEZE OR COUGH INTO A TISSUE OR YOUR ELBOW. The Three Little Pigs say “Don’t do what the Big Bad Wolf does, if you need to cough or sneeze, grab a tissue and put it straight into the bin. If you can’t get a

tissue in time, use your elbow.”

Remember the rhyme ‘Catch it, Bin it, Kill it!’

4. DON’T PUT ANYTHING IN YOUR MOUTH! The Highway Rat says “Of course you can eat your snack and lunch but don’t put anything else in your mouth. Your hands and school equipment must stay out of mouths!”

5. WASH YOUR HANDS! The Gruffalo says “You will need to wash your hands with soap and water lots of times throughout the day. Your teachers have

got lots of soap ready for you and they will do it too!”

If we all remember these 5 things, we can stay as safe as possible. All the teachers will help you remember them too so don’t worry if you can’t get the stuck in your head!

SEE YOU SOON CHILDREN! REMEMBER THE 5 ‘S’ 1. Smile to show you’re happy 2. Space in between you 3. Sneeze into a tissue (catch it, bin it, kill it) 4. Snacks only in your mouth 5. Soapy hands lots of times throughout the day.
